Winter warms the uterus and drives away the cold

  From the time the temperature drops, keeping warm becomes the first priority. However, for some women, when the weather is cold, hands and feet are particularly cold and difficult to warm up, or the small abdomen has a cold feeling. Is this the fault of “uterine cold”? The first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zeng Cheng, chief physician of the Department of Gynecology, said that easy cold hands and feet does not mean that the uterus is cold, but the modern bad lifestyle makes more women will appear because of the cold evil invasion and “uterus cold”. Therefore, in the cold winter discriminatory “warming the womb” is very necessary.  The majority of people will literally understand the term “cold in the womb” when it comes to “cold in the womb”. But in fact, the “womb” referred to in Chinese medicine does not only refer to the “room” where the baby is conceived, but includes the entire reproductive system and related functions. Zeng Cheng said that the so-called cold uterus, refers to women due to kidney Yang deficiency, spleen Yang deficiency or spleen and kidney Yang deficiency, resulting in the uterus is not warm and painful menstruation, menstrual disorders, abdominal cold, lower abdominal swelling, leucorrhea and thin, dysmenorrhea, fear of cold, often waist and knee cold, cold hands and feet, loss of libido and other symptoms. Women with Spleen-Yang deficiency also experience some digestive symptoms, such as poor appetite, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and loose stools.  So what causes “uterine cold”? In fact, the uterine cold is divided into a variety of congenital and acquired causes. Some people are born with a weak constitution, Yang Qi weakness, such as limbs easily cold, especially when the temperature turns cold, especially obvious, etc.. But there are also many from the “acquired”, that is, the modern bad lifestyle caused by. Zeng Cheng believes that due to work tension, mental stress, reduced exercise and other circumstances lead to more modern women deficiency evidence of the physique; coupled with the usual improper conditioning, cold drinks, winter clothing exposed and thin, workplace air conditioning temperature is too low and other unhealthy lifestyle, so that the external cold invades the body, damaging the body’s yang, so it is more likely to appear the case of cold uterus.  Winter is the right time to warm the uterus irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, leucorrhea, cold limbs, decreased libido, infertility …… uterine cold does bring a lot of discomfort to women, if long-term uterine cold is not regulated, it is likely to affect fertility. Zeng Cheng explained, “The impact of uterine cold on women includes ‘birth’, ‘fertility’ and ‘sex’, and therefore has an impact on the quality of life, family relationships and sexual harmony.” Therefore, women with uterine cold should be adjusted and treated early.  According to the Chinese medicine theory of “Heaven and Man”, winter is the main season of hibernation, which should keep energy, that is, store Yang Qi, in addition to keep the winter warm, but also to reduce the occurrence of disease. However, the low temperature in winter can easily lead to the emergence or aggravation of uterine cold for women with uterine cold. Therefore, the use of the winter season is suitable for tonic, conditioning the uterus cold disease can really play a multi-talented role.  Zeng Cheng said that women with uterine cold can eat more warming food in winter, such as angelica ginger lamb casserole, can also be added to the diet there are dulcimer, wolfberry, sequesters and other warm ingredients. Try to eat less cold, cold food. At the same time, it is best to combine some moderate exercise during the non-menstrual period, such as jogging, brisk walking, constant temperature swimming and other exercises to enhance physical fitness, to improve the Yang deficiency, warming the uterus and dispersing cold is very beneficial.  The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and that is why it is so important for you to know what you are doing. But cold hands and feet is not necessarily “uterine cold”, in fact, but also in combination with many factors, such as whether there are late menstruation, thin as water, no odor, cold body and cold limbs, decreased libido, infertility, but also in combination with the tongue and tongue moss, pulse and other aspects of the comprehensive evidence to consider. So don’t just think you are “cold in the womb”. For women who do not have uterine cold, there is no need to “warm the womb”.  Even for women with uterine cold, it is not advisable to take tonic regimen on your own. The body is not invariable, and some special periods, such as during menstruation can not be indiscriminately tonic. Zeng Cheng reminded that the best way to manage the coldness of the uterus is to identify the evidence, to find out whether it is kidney Yang deficiency or spleen Yang deficiency, or spleen and kidney Yang deficiency. The best in the doctor’s physical identification and advice for conditioning, so that the doctor according to the condition of the individual prescription, through Chinese medicine or food therapy, combined with some of the auxiliary means on the market warming paste, physical therapy and so on the overall conditioning, in order to achieve better results.
