What is the cause of insufficient blood supply to the uterus?

For us women, the uterus is a very important organ, but many women also suffer from uterine diseases. Insufficient blood supply to the uterus is a common problem. In fact, insufficient blood supply to the uterus is what we usually call uterine cold. Below we will introduce some basic information about uterine blood deficiency. Let’s all learn about it.

1. Since uterine cold is partly caused by overeating cold foods, it can also be adjusted through diet. On the one hand, if you eat more foods that warm the meridians and uterus, such as walnuts, dates, peanuts, onions, and tomatoes, and drink a cup of ginger tea after lunch or dinner every day, it can actively dissolve the cold in the body. Long-term persistence is very beneficial for regulating uterine cold; on the other hand, eat less cold foods, such as mung beans, bitter melon, and cool melon.

2. Pay attention to keeping the uterus warm, especially the lower body should be protected from cold, and pay attention to keeping the lower abdomen, waist and feet warm. . Pay special attention to keeping your feet warm. Don't expose your legs too early or wear short skirts too early in spring and summer. If you wear a skirt, it is best to wear thick wool socks underneath to prevent cold from your feet.

3. During menstruation, postpartum and lactation, you should be careful to avoid excessive contact with cold. For example, women during menstruation should not wade in the rain, sit or lie in humid places.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine has the saying that "movement generates yang", which means that exercise can improve physical fitness. Ensuring half an hour of walking every day can improve circulation. Soaking your feet in hot water more often can stimulate the meridians and acupoints on the soles of your feet, keep your body warm, and improve uterine coldness.

It is important to differentiate between real cold and false cold. Clinically, both deficiency-cold and excess-cold belong to cold syndrome, but because of differences in etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations, there are also differences in treatment, especially in medication. Deficiency-cold refers to the lack of Yang in the body, which causes coldness from within, meaning "Yang deficiency leads to external coldness". It is due to the deficiency of Yang Qi in the body, the weakened warming biochemical ability, the body cannot be warmed, and the symptoms of cold syndrome appear, which falls within the scope of Yang deficiency syndrome. Real cold refers to the external cold evil, which causes excessive cold in the body, damaging the Yang Qi and causing symptoms of cold. When Yin and cold are prevalent, excessive Yin leads to cold, which means "excessive Yin leads to internal coldness". If there are pain symptoms, there will be a common characteristic that the pain will be relieved after warmth, but there are also differences: real cold causes severe pain that is resistant to pressure; false cold causes dull pain that is relieved by rubbing and pressing. Real cold is the actual evidence of cold air invading the human body, which can be seen in cold hands and feet, pale complexion, and tasteless mouth. Deficiency and coldness are accompanied by the decline of the functions of various internal organs, and are often accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, lack of energy, poor appetite, loose stools, and scanty menstruation.
