Is dysmenorrhea caused by uterine cold?

Due to women's special physiological structure and physical cycle, those few days of each month are extremely painful. Women with better physical fitness will not feel so severe pain. However, if a woman’s physical fitness is already poor and she has an irregular diet, dysmenorrhea is inevitable. Dysmenorrhea is something that almost every woman will experience, so is dysmenorrhea caused by uterine cold? Although we know that dysmenorrhea will be aggravated if the abdomen gets cold during menstruation, can the two be counted together?

The treatment of uterine cold dysmenorrhea should start from three aspects at the same time:

First: Dysmenorrhea is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis in the uterus. Pain occurs when qi is blocked. Symptoms such as blood clots, delayed menstruation, and amenorrhea may also occur. Treatment principles: Promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, regulate menstruation and relieve pain. As long as the qi and blood in the uterus flow smoothly and the blood stasis disappears, dysmenorrhea will naturally improve.

Second: The cause of qi stagnation and blood stasis is uterine cold, the main manifestations of which are: cold pain in the lower abdomen, relieved by heat, bloating in the lower abdomen, cold or chilly stomach, and excessive leucorrhea. Treatment principle: Warm the uterus and relieve pain. As long as the coldness in the uterus is eliminated and the uterus is warm, it is possible to prevent Qi and blood from stagnating in the uterus.

In addition, the symptoms of some common gynecological chronic inflammations in Western medicine (such as vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, adnexitis, etc.) are actually caused by uterine cold.

Key points of difference: As long as the condition is chronic, recurring, and cannot be cured by long-term anti-inflammatory drugs, the problem of uterine cold should be considered. Clinically, the treatment effect of these chronic inflammations with the method of uterine cold is very obvious.

Third: The cause of uterine cold is kidney yang deficiency, the main manifestations of which are: fear of cold, cold limbs, sore waist and knees, cold pain in the waist and back, clear and long urination, and frequent urination at night. Treatment principles: Warming yang and tonifying the kidney. When the kidney yang is sufficient, the body will be warm, the ability to resist cold will be enhanced, and the invasion of cold air will be prevented. From the perspective of treatment principles, it can be simply understood: if the kidney yang is insufficient, the body's protective mechanism is weak, and the ability to resist cold is poor, the uterus is easily invaded by cold air and forms uterine cold, which in turn causes qi stagnation and blood stasis in the uterus, causing pain if the qi is blocked.

From the above introduction, we can see that dysmenorrhea is dysmenorrhea, and cold uterus is cold uterus. The two cannot be confused. In other words, the cause of dysmenorrhea may be caused by other reasons. It is not necessarily that dysmenorrhea is caused by cold uterus, but cold uterus will definitely cause dysmenorrhea. So female friends should pay more attention and focus on protecting their abdomen to avoid pain.
