Why do women have cold stomachs?

In life, many women's lower abdomens are often cold, whether in winter or summer, women's lower abdomens are particularly cold. In fact, a cold lower abdomen is a manifestation of uterine coldness. A cold lower abdomen will definitely cause abdominal pain during menstruation, so you can eat some uterine warming foods. So why is a woman's abdomen cold?

Common external factors include: liking to eat cold drinks, or catching a cold during menstruation due to rain or wading in water; abortion causing the cold evil to invade directly from the lower part of the human body; using antibiotics for too long; taking heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs for a long time which damages the body's yang energy and causes the cold evil to invade the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "cold causes contraction", which causes meridian stagnation and obstruction of Qi and blood circulation, resulting in local or whole-body chills.

In a sense, the "uterine cold" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine cannot be simply understood as the uterus being cold. It refers to the weakened function of the entire internal reproductive organs including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It is precisely because of this that the "uterine cold" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine appears to be rich in connotation. "Palace" refers to the female reproductive system and involves the whole body; "cold" refers to the patient's conscious symptoms and can be understood as poor function of the body. The unique theory of traditional Chinese medicine highlights its unique charm, which is also the source of the development of traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years.
