How to regulate uterine cold during pregnancy

For women, uterine coldness is harmful to their bodies, because most women with uterine coldness have a cold constitution, which makes them particularly prone to illness. In winter, they feel cold and have abdominal pain during menstruation. Therefore, they need to eat some conditioning foods in their daily diet. So how should uterine coldness be regulated during pregnancy preparation?

Many women with cold uterus have delayed menstruation, which may be delayed by more than ten days or as long as two or three months, which will affect ovulation. The lack of ovulation will of course affect pregnancy and even lead to infertility. The low temperature of the uterus 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.

Symptoms of uterine cold:

1. Gaining weight

Another symptom of uterine cold is gaining weight all over the body, accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, scanty menstruation, and anovulation. The uterus lacks heat, and in order to maintain its own physiological functions, fat acts as a "uterus protector". The colder the uterus, the more the body needs to store fat, which causes weight gain.

2. Abnormal menstruation

Before menstruation, there is a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and there is an increase in leucorrhea, lower back pain or pain, and breast pain. A few women experience nausea and vomiting. During menstruation, there is abdominal pain, a cold lower abdomen, and dark menstrual blood with blood clots. Some women experience dysmenorrhea to an unbearable degree.

3. Coldness in the lower abdomen

Sometimes there is pain, the menstruation is sometimes delayed, the color is light and the amount is small, the spirit is poor, the waist and legs are usually sore, urination is frequent, the menstrual volume is small, the libido is decreased, the tongue is pale with white coating, and the pulse is deep. If the true yang is insufficient, the waist will feel sore as if it is broken, the complexion will be dull, the lower abdomen and limbs will feel cold, the feet will be cold and weak, the mouth will have a tasteless taste, the person will like spicy and dry food, the menstruation will be slightly delayed, there will be leucorrhea, frequent urination or incontinence, the tongue will be pale, the tongue coating will be greasy and slippery white, and the pulse will be deep and weak.

How to treat uterine cold:

1. Improve physical fitness

Some women are born with a cold constitution, their limbs are easily cold, they are particularly sensitive to cooler weather, their faces are paler than the average person, they like to drink hot drinks, they rarely feel thirsty, they are afraid of cold in winter and resistant to heat in summer. A cold constitution is mostly caused by acquired factors. Living in a cold environment, being fond of cold food, overwork or irritability can damage the body's yang energy.

Women who are trying to get pregnant can do the following:

(1) Eat foods that warm the body. If you have a congenital cold uterus, you should eat more qi-replenishing and body-warming foods, such as walnuts, dates, and peanuts, so that the congenital deficiency can be made up by the acquired high energy. And you don't have to worry about getting a sore throat, because the cold uterus constitution is characterized by insufficient fire energy, and it is not easy to have symptoms of heat in the body.

(2) Keep walking at a brisk pace. Women who are planning to get pregnant can usually insist on brisk walking, especially walking on cobblestone roads, which 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.

(3) Keep warm during and after exercise, especially after sweating, as the pores open and the cold can easily enter. If the uterus is affected by the cold, the blood and qi will coagulate when they encounter the cold, resulting in symptoms of uterine cold.
