Can uterine cold really lead to infertility?

Uterine cold refers to a series of symptoms caused by spleen and kidney deficiency in women and lack of warmth in the uterus. Uterine cold is also related to women's cervix, so we should pay attention to it in daily life. Because if women always have uterine cold, it may affect whether they can get pregnant easily. So, will uterine cold cause infertility?

Can uterine cold cause infertility?

Yes. Uterine cold can cause infertility, but it does not necessarily lead to infertility. Many women with cold uterus have delayed menstruation, which may be delayed by more than ten days at the least, or two or three months at most. Most of these women do not have ovulation, which naturally leads to infertility. From another perspective, the lower the temperature of the uterus, the more unfavorable it is for the growth of the fetus. Even if you get pregnant, you are prone to miscarriage. Therefore, it is necessary for women to adjust the uterine environment before preparing for pregnancy.

1. Pay attention to keeping warm. If the indoor temperature is set too low, dampness will sneak into the human body and damage the uterus. Be sure to keep warm in the air-conditioned room and wear an extra coat. When going out, don't sit on the ground or in humid places to avoid catching cold.

2. Eat less cold food. Women should try to avoid eating cold food, fruits, vegetables and other cold foods, and food taken out of the refrigerator should be left for a while before eating. Ginger slices are warm in nature and can warm the middle and dispel cold, so you can eat them in moderation. In addition, you can eat more uterus-warming ingredients such as brown sugar, Chuanxiong, and dates.

3. Strengthen exercise. Chinese medicine believes that "movement generates yang", and women with weak and cold constitutions need to exercise more to improve their qi and blood. Pay attention to keeping warm during and after exercise, especially after sweating, the pores of the skin will open, and dampness can easily enter and cause symptoms of uterine cold.

4. Press Yongquan acupoint. Regularly massaging the Yongquan acupoint is very beneficial for protecting Qi and blood and preventing uterine cold. In addition, every 3-5 days, scraping the lumbar sacral area, abdomen and lower abdomen with a scraping board until they turn red and hot is also a good way to treat uterine cold.
