Gynecological uterine cold is a relatively common disease in traditional Chinese medicine. Among the causes of infertility in traditional Chinese medicine, gynecological uterine cold occupies an important position. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, uterine cold is very harmful to women. When it occurs, it often leads to dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, reduced menstrual blood volume, and threatened abortion. During the lactation period, it is easy to cause lochia retention, abdominal pain after delivery, etc. Let's take a look at the symptoms of gynecological uterine cold.

Women with the above symptoms are very likely to have uterine cold. They should pay more attention to keeping warm and eat more warming foods. If the situation is serious, you need to seek professional Chinese medicine advice for conditioning and treatment.

How to treat uterine cold

Eating more qi-replenishing and body-warming foods, such as walnuts, dates, and peanuts, can allow these high-energy foods to make up for innate deficiencies. The cold uterus constitution means insufficient fire energy, and it is not easy to have symptoms of excessive fire and heat in the body. You can drink a cup of brown sugar water every day three days before your period to increase your body's excretion and promote the discharge of menstrual blood. Brown sugar can invigorate your qi and blood and warm your uterus.

Most women with uterine cold tend to be quiet and steady. They may feel tired easily if they exercise too much. However, moderate exercise can generate yang. People with cold constitution especially need to improve their physical condition through exercise. Brisk walking is the simplest way to keep fit, especially walking on cobblestone roads, which can better stimulate the meridians and acupoints on the soles of the feet, dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, improve blood circulation in the body, and warm the whole body.

Use moxa sticks for moxibustion, and burn the Qihai point 1.5 inches directly below the center of the navel and the Guanyuan point 3 inches directly below the center of the navel for 30 minutes every day. Soaking or decocting Astragalus, jujube and Angelica in water and drinking it can replenish Qi and regulate blood, make the body full of Qi and blood, and also eliminate uterine cold.

In an air-conditioned environment, it is best to always have a coat or shawl ready to protect your shoulders from cold. When wearing a skirt, use a shawl to protect your legs, especially your knees. In the summer, do not sit on cold chairs, such as chairs made of the ground, stone, or iron surfaces. They conduct heat quickly and are cold, and the cold will quickly repel the body's yang energy and directly attack the uterus.

You can drink a cup of ginger tea before meals. Cut a piece of ginger, brew it with boiling water, and drink it while it is hot. Ginger can actively dissolve the coldness in cold food or cool food. After catching a cold, such as when you get caught in the rain or go out with wet hair, you must drink a bowl of cold-repelling soup afterwards. Add 7 slices of ginger to 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, simmer for 10 minutes, and drink it once or twice to drive away the coldness in your body.
