Does uterine coldness affect the fetus during pregnancy?

Some people always think that uterine cold is not a serious disease and does not require special treatment. However, they do not know that uterine cold is very harmful, especially it has a direct adverse effect on the health of the fetus. Fetal growth retardation, developmental abnormalities, miscarriage, etc. are all common phenomena. Therefore, expectant mothers with uterine cold must pay attention to keeping warm and exercise more appropriately.

1. The impact of uterine coldness in pregnant women on the fetus

For most pregnant women, cold uterus has no effect on the fetus, but a small number of women with cold uterus will experience fetal developmental abnormalities and fetal growth retardation after pregnancy, and in severe cases, even miscarriage.

Analysis of the cause: The uterus is where the fetus grows and develops. The fetus needs sufficient warmth and nutrition during a certain period of growth and development. Uterine cold will cause the uterine temperature to be low and blood flow to be poor. Some embryos that are not developing well may stop developing at a certain point, or even result in direct miscarriage.

2. How to regulate uterine cold in pregnant women

1. Keep warm

During pregnancy, mothers must keep warm, especially the abdomen. It is recommended that expectant mothers wear a coat or shawl when in an air-conditioned room. If wearing a skirt, it is best to cover your knees with a blanket or clothes. Also, be careful not to sit on cold chairs, such as those on the ground, stone or iron surfaces.

2. Exercise more

Expectant mothers with uterine cold should exercise more often, which can make the body's qi and blood flow smoothly, help warm the body, and drive away the coldness of the uterus. It is recommended that expectant mothers take a walk for about half an hour after meals every day. They can also do appropriate exercises such as prenatal yoga, prenatal exercises, swimming, etc.

3. Foot bath

Foot soaking can also help pregnant women expel the coldness of the uterus, and soaking the feet before going to bed every night can also help pregnant women sleep, killing two birds with one stone.

3. Pregnant women with cold uterus should pay attention to their diet

1. Eat more foods that warm the uterus. Expectant mothers should eat more foods that replenish qi and warm the body, such as walnuts, red dates, peanuts, etc. Longan also has a good effect of warming the uterus, but pregnant women should not eat it because it has a strong effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and pregnant women may suffer miscarriage if they eat it.

2. Eat less raw and cold food. Raw and cold food will consume the body's yang energy and aggravate the symptoms of uterine cold. Raw and cold food may also stimulate the uterus and cause uterine contractions, so pregnant women should eat less. Fruits and vegetables that have just been taken out of the refrigerator should also be left at room temperature before eating.

3. Eat less cold foods, such as tomatoes, wild rice stems, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, lilies, lotus roots, bamboo shoots, arrowheads, konjac, water spinach, dandelions, purslane, watermelons, pears, mung beans, bitter melons, etc. Pregnant women with cold uterus should eat them with caution.
