How to regulate uterine coldness during pregnancy?

Many women with uterine coldness will have abnormal menstruation, and in severe cases, it may even affect ovulation, leading to infertility and other diseases. Experts say that if the uterine temperature is too low, it is not suitable for fetal growth, and even if you get pregnant, you are prone to miscarriage. Therefore, it is very important for women to adjust the uterine environment before preparing for pregnancy.

What are the causes of female uterine cold?

1. Constitution

Some women are born with a cold constitution: their limbs are easily cold, they are particularly sensitive to the cold weather, their faces are paler than the average person, they like to drink hot drinks, they are rarely thirsty, they are afraid of cold in winter and heat-resistant in summer. However, cold constitution is mostly caused by acquired factors, such as living in a cold environment, liking cold food, overwork or irritability that damages the body's yang energy, etc. These are common problems that make the body cold. Another part is heredity, your parents have a cold constitution, or when you were born, they were older and their body yang energy gradually decreased, which will directly lead to the writing of the cold constitution code in your genes. Even if you are in the same conditions as others, you are more likely to have symptoms of uterine cold, so in addition to being careful to prevent cold, you must also keep your body warm for a long time.

2. Lifestyle

Coldness is the source of all diseases. As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten diseases are caused by coldness" and "Diseases come from coldness." Women's thin clothing in winter violates the principle of health preservation. Women's reproductive system is most afraid of coldness. In winter, the yang energy is more depleted. If the lower body is cold, it will directly lead to cold uterus in women.

In today's life, summer has become the season with the highest frequency of uterine cold. In the hot summer, many women like to stay indoors, wear cool clothes, and use air conditioning. Unconsciously, the uterus is "tortured" by the cold, which leads to the appearance of uterine cold, greatly reducing the function of the uterus, and easily causing symptoms such as cold hands and feet, weakness, loss of appetite, and even irregular menstruation.

3. Rapid weight loss

Whether dieting, exercising, or taking medicine, the way to lose weight is to consume more than you take in, but it must be a long process. If you use a very short time to achieve the goal of losing weight, you can only sacrifice your health. Rapid weight loss is nothing more than using strong and powerful drugs and abnormal means to expel excess water and fat from the body. In Chinese medicine, this is equivalent to the body losing a large amount of energy substances in a short period of time, and the cold evil is likely to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the uterus.

4. Too much cold food

In traditional Chinese medicine, women are considered to be yin and should not be greedy for cold foods. Even in the hot summer, cold drinks, iced tea, fruits and other cold foods should not be consumed too much, not to mention those who hold ice cream all year round. After eating too much cold and raw food, these foods will consume yang energy when entering the body, causing endogenous cold evil to invade the uterus. Therefore, the guidance of eating cold foods in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly applicable to women.

5. Miscarriage

The combination of sperm and egg and the growth of the fetus require a lot of energy from women, so some pregnant women will have an uncomfortable body and a face full of spots. Abortion is equivalent to suddenly throwing away all those energy substances, which requires a lot of yang energy from the human body. If the body is not well-cultivated, the yang energy will be depleted for a long time, the uterus will lose its warmth, and uterine cold will occur.

6. Kidney deficiency

Kidney deficiency, an important cause of uterine cold as described in traditional Chinese medicine is kidney deficiency.

How to regulate female uterine cold

1. Improve physical fitness

Some women are born with a cold constitution, their limbs are easily cold, they are particularly sensitive to cold weather, their faces are paler than the average person, they like to drink hot drinks, rarely feel thirsty, are afraid of cold in winter, and tolerate heat in summer. Cold constitution is mostly caused by acquired factors, such as living in a cold environment, liking cold food, overwork or irritability, which damages the body's yang energy.

1. Eat warming foods. If you have a congenital cold uterus, you should eat more foods that replenish qi and warm the body, such as walnuts, dates, and peanuts, so that the congenital deficiency can be supplemented by the acquired high energy. And you don’t have to worry about getting angry, because the cold uterus constitution is insufficient in fire, and it is not easy to have symptoms of fire and heat.

2. Keep walking briskly. Women who are preparing for pregnancy can keep walking briskly, especially walking on cobblestone roads, which can stimulate the meridians and acupoints on the soles of the feet, dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, improve blood circulation, and warm the whole body.

3. Pay attention to keeping warm during and after exercise, especially after sweating, as the pores open and cold evil can easily enter. If the uterus is troubled by cold evil, the blood and qi will coagulate when encountering cold, and symptoms of uterine cold will appear.

2. Pay attention to your diet

To treat uterine cold, eat less raw and cold food. In traditional Chinese medicine, women's constitution is yin, so they should not be greedy for cold. Even in the hot summer, cold drinks, iced tea, fruits and other cold things should not be greedy, and cold drinks should be avoided as much as possible in spring, autumn and winter. These cold and raw foods will consume yang energy when entering the body, causing endogenous cold evil to invade the uterus.

Women who are trying to get pregnant can do the following:

1. Eat less raw and cold food. Eating cold food should be done in moderation, not too much. For example, you should not eat more than two ice creams a day. When eating, you should eat hot food first and then cold food. If the order is reversed, the cold air will be pushed down to the uterus by the hot air, causing damage.

2. Distinguish cold food. In addition to the food taken out of the refrigerator, there are many foods that are cold in nature even though they can be eaten at room temperature, such as watermelon, pear, pork, mung bean, rock sugar, bitter melon, etc. They should be eaten in moderation according to the season; develop a habit of drinking a cup of ginger tea before meals (a piece of ginger, brewed with boiling water, and drunk while hot), which can actively dissolve the coldness in cold foods or cold foods.

Develop good living habits

Nowadays, air conditioners are the best home appliances for keeping warm in winter and cool in summer. However, if women stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time or even in an office environment with a constant temperature of 24°, their shoulders, necks, backs, waists and joints will be attacked by the cold. The cold air will directly attack the fragile bodies of women, and the uterus will be the first to be affected, which will cause uterine cold.

1. Be careful not to stay in a cold environment for a long time. Prepare a coat or shawl in the office; do not sit under the air conditioner; do not take a lunch break in the office; do not sit on a cold chair; prepare a piece of clothing in the office to protect your shoulders, knees and other parts. Stockings are also very necessary for women who are afraid of cold, as they can prevent the cold from coming from the feet.

2. Avoid using air conditioners. In air-conditioned rooms, beautiful girls always show off their beautiful legs, arms, shoulders, and even backs and waists. The air conditioning keeps the sun away from you, but it is very close to your body. When you feel the comfort brought by the cold air from the air conditioner, you don’t know that your uterus is suffering from the cold outside. When the cold air invades your body, you are not far from "uterine cold".

3. Don’t sit in the cold. In summer, don’t sit on a cold surface, such as the ground, stone or iron chairs, because these places are very cold, and the cold evil will quickly repel the body’s yang energy and directly attack the uterus.

4. After catching a cold, you need to remedy it in time. Make yourself a bowl of cold-dispelling soup. The ingredients are 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 7 slices of ginger. Boil in water for 10 minutes. Drink it 1-2 times to drive away the cold.

5. You can drink brown sugar water every day three days before your period to increase the amount of menstruation, help expel the menstruation more cleanly, activate the blood circulation, and warm the uterus.
