Is it because a woman's hands and feet are cold? It's not just that

Some people say that if female friends have cold hands and feet, it is uterine cold. In fact, cold hands and feet are mostly problems with qi and blood, and most of them are caused by qi and blood deficiency. Not all women with cold hands and feet have uterine cold.

1. Generally, cold hands and feet are closely related to the heart and blood vessels, because blood is sent out by the heart, carrying oxygen to all parts of the body. Oxygen can only generate heat after burning, and the hands and feet will be warm. Once the cardiovascular system is impaired, it will affect the blood circulation and transportation, resulting in cold hands and feet. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, cold hands and feet are prone to numbness, which is mostly a problem of qi and blood, because qi deficiency and blood deficiency cause poor blood circulation and insufficient blood volume.

Western medicine believes that it is caused by poor blood circulation, so it is necessary to actively combine Chinese and Western medicine for treatment and develop good eating and living habits.

2. Chinese medicine practitioners suggest that daily massage can relieve the symptoms of cold hands and feet and whole body chills. When uric acid exceeds normal values, gout may be considered.

It is advisable to drink more water to facilitate the excretion of blood uric acid from the kidneys. In terms of medication, drugs that lower blood uric acid such as allopurinol can be used.
