What causes internal heat in women?

Modern women generally feel that their physical condition has changed greatly. This change is manifested in the continuous decline of resistance, the increase in the number of illnesses, etc. In fact, this is a manifestation of internal heat. Internal heat can cause disorders in women's endocrine system and reduce the body's resistance. Therefore, the harm of internal heat is very great. Let's take a look at what causes internal heat in women?

Internal fire is also called internal heat, and in traditional Chinese medicine it is also called "endogenous fire and heat". As the name suggests, internal fire (heat) is the opposite of internal cold and is a disease caused by the body's overly active metabolism and excessive heat production. There are two types of excessive heat production for the human body: absolute excess and relative excess. Absolute excess refers to diseases caused by the human body's overly active metabolism, which results in heat production exceeding the normal heat dissipation capacity; while relative excess refers to diseases caused by the human body's decreased heat dissipation capacity, resulting in relative excess heat production. "Internal fire (heat)" caused by absolute excessive heat production is also called "real fire (heat)". Since it is fire, its main clinical symptom is of course fever. The fever caused by "real fire (heat)" can be systemic or local.

Systemic fever is often manifested as an increase in body temperature. For example, hyperthyroidism in modern medicine belongs to the category of "real fire (heat)" among the "internal fire (heat)" in traditional Chinese medicine. Local fever, such as a burning sensation in the epigastric area, a hot sensation in the heart, a hot sensation in the head and face, a hot sensation in the urethra when urinating, a burning sensation in the anus when defecating, etc., is caused by excessive heat accumulation in a certain organ. In clinical practice, in addition to fever, real fire (heat) is often accompanied by various symptoms of excessive metabolism, such as red face and eyes, palpitations and irritability, thirst, preference for cold drinks, dry stools, yellow and red urine, eating too much and getting hungry easily, irritability, and weight loss. There are many reasons for causing "real fire (heat)", the most important of which is that the movement and warming effect of Yuan Yang are too hyperactive, which leads to excessive metabolic activities of various tissues and organs of the human body and produces various symptoms.

The symptoms of yin deficiency and internal heat in women include dry throat, polydipsia, dizziness, tinnitus, fever in the five parts of the body, night sweats, frequent urination, dry stool, soreness of the waist and knees, insomnia and forgetfulness, spermatorrhea, irregular menstruation, red tongue with yellow coating, and thin and rapid pulse. For treatment, you can take Zhibai Dihuang Pills, which nourishes yin, clears heat and tonifies the kidney. It is good at nourishing yin and clearing heat, and has the function of clearing and lowering the lower burner fire.
