What causes cold heels in women?

Cold heels in women are generally related to yang deficiency. Women's physique is originally weak, and many girls like to eat ice cream and drink cold drinks in winter. They only care about temperature and not style. They wear thin clothes, which causes their bodies to get cold. Yang deficiency and yin excess cause yang energy to fail to reach the soles of the feet, so the soles of the feet naturally become cold. At the same time, it is also easy to experience symptoms such as diarrhea, dysmenorrhea, and irregular menstruation. It is recommended to drink more hot water and keep warm.

Excluding factors such as anemia, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, etc., cold feet are mostly related to low ambient temperature, weak personal constitution, poor peripheral blood circulation, etc. Poor peripheral blood circulation and insufficient blood supply to hands, feet and other parts will cause cold feet. It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check whether you have anemia, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and other diseases. If the causes of the disease are ruled out, you can improve the situation by increasing physical exercise and nutrition. In addition, excessive sweating of the feet can also make the feet cold, so be sure to keep your feet dry.

If you frequently experience cold hands and feet, the first thing you should consider is keeping warm, especially paying attention to your legs and feet. As the saying goes, "The cold starts from the feet." If you do a good job of keeping your lower limbs warm, your whole body will feel warm. In addition, you can do some exercise to promote blood circulation. At the same time, you can also do some diet therapy and eat more high-calorie foods, such as beef, mutton, peppers, onions, garlic and other foods.

Some people who are prone to cold hands and feet are accustomed to soaking their feet in hot water, massaging, rubbing, etc. This is also an effective way to increase heat. However, patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs, diabetes and other diseases should be cautious when soaking their feet in hot water. Because people with such diseases soak in high-temperature water for a long time, it is easy to cause blood vessel damage and skin ulcers, which are difficult to heal. In addition, massage and kneading should be moderate, so that you feel comfortable or slightly painful. Excessive force may damage the muscles.

Cold hands and feet can be relieved by yourself through some methods. It will not cause much pain and generally there is no need to go to the hospital for treatment.

In addition, if your hands and feet are cold and accompanied by pain in the limbs, swelling of the lower limbs, dark, purple, or brown skin, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time, because this is not just a problem of keeping warm, it is very likely that there will be diseases such as lower limb vascular embolism.
