What is uterine cold and what are the symptoms

Uterine cold refers to a condition in which the female uterus is too cold, which can lead to amenorrhea, irregular menstruation, and infertility. The low temperature of the uterus is not suitable for fetal growth, so even if a woman is pregnant, she may have an abortion. There are no particularly obvious symptoms of uterine cold, but the body will feel pain during some normal menstrual periods.

What is uterine cold?

The so-called uterine cold refers to insufficient kidney yang in women. Uterine cold can lead to infertility, but it does not mean that uterine cold will definitely lead to infertility. Many women with uterine cold mainly experience symptoms such as fear of cold, sore waist and weak legs, clear and long urination, frequent urination at night, lack of libido, delayed menstruation, etc. The menstrual flow is often less and lighter in color, or there is dysmenorrhea, and in severe cases, there will be amenorrhea and infertility.

The uterine temperature is low, which is not suitable for fetal growth, and even if pregnancy occurs, miscarriage is likely to occur. Therefore, it is necessary for women to adjust the uterine environment before preparing for pregnancy.

Why do women have uterine cold?

Clinical medicine has found that there are many causes of uterine cold. On the one hand, it is related to a person's innate constitution. However, the current causes of uterine cold are mostly unhealthy lifestyles, such as loving cold drinks, greed for coolness, setting the air-conditioning temperature too low, wearing belly-exposing clothes for the sake of beauty, thin clothes in winter, etc. If you catch a cold during menstruation, the impact will be even greater. In addition, excessive fatigue or emotional changes can also damage the body's yang energy.

Therefore, women should be careful in their daily lives, especially during menstruation, not to drink cold drinks or indulge in coolness in order to avoid causing uterine cold.

What are the symptoms of uterine cold?

The main symptoms of uterine cold are: kidney yang deficiency, lower abdominal distension during menstruation, cold abdomen, relieved by applying a hot water bag, excessive vaginal discharge, dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders, dark red or even black menstrual blood, deep and tight pulse, thin white tongue coating, cold hands and feet in winter, and severe cases can lead to infertility.

How to treat uterine cold?

First of all, we need to change our living habits and keep warm, especially in the cold winter. It is not good to be "frozen by beauty".

Secondly, in terms of diet, you should avoid eating raw and cold foods, eat less cold foods such as cabbage, white radish, green tea, etc., and eat more warming foods, such as lamb, dog meat, leek, walnuts, longan, dates, peanuts, etc.

Again, people with "uterine cold" should increase their exercise appropriately. Generally speaking, people with uterine cold tend to be quiet and steady, and they easily feel tired if they exercise too much. In fact, "movement generates yang", and people with cold constitutions especially need to improve their constitution through exercise.

Brisk walking is the easiest way. Walking, especially walking on cobblestone roads, can stimulate the meridians and acupoints on the soles of the feet, dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, improve blood circulation, and warm the whole body.

In addition, you can also use moxa stick moxibustion method. Generally, two acupoints are selected: Qihai point, which is 1.5 inches directly below the center of the navel, and Guanyuan point, which is 3 inches directly below the center of the navel. Fumigating with moxa sticks for 30 minutes every day can have a very good effect.
