The colder the uterus, the more the body needs to store fat, which can cause fat in the lower abdomen. There are also some people with cold constitution who are obviously fat not only in their lower abdomen but also in their whole body.

      3. Menstrual period is not allowed, hands and feet are cold

      People suffering from uterine cold have irregular menstrual periods every month. Most menstrual periods are less frequent and lighter in color. Their mental state is also poor, their complexion is sallow, and they urinate more frequently. The symptoms usually include loss of sexual desire, coldness all over the body, especially coldness in the hands and feet, and the person is more afraid of the cold than the average person. He has a pale tongue with white coating, likes to eat spicy food, and often feels tired all over the body.

      2. How to protect the uterus in summer

      1. Don’t be greedy for air conditioning

      After entering midsummer, women are showing off their skin. Beautiful legs, jade arms, fragrant shoulders, and even a large back and a small waist are all visible. But in the office, it is always a constant 24°C throughout the seasons, and the air conditioner blocks the scorching sun. Unknowingly, the cold air invades the body, and it is not surprising to suffer from uterine cold. You must pay attention to insulation in the office, and it is important to add a coat for yourself.

      2. Eat less raw and cold foods, and eat more warm tonic foods

      Even in the hot summer, women should not eat too many cold drinks, cold fruits and other cold things. It is best to leave the food taken out of the refrigerator for a period of time before eating. It is best to eat some hot food as a "bottom" before eating cold food. In addition, you should also eat more nourishing and warming foods, such as walnuts, dates, peanuts, etc. You can also eat some donkey-hide gelatin, antler gelatin, etc. to replenish blood after menstruation. You can also eat some angelica, ginger and mutton soup to refresh your blood.

      3. Exercise increases blood circulation

      Generally, girls suffering from uterine cold syndrome do not like to exercise much, so their physical fitness will be relatively poor. If you want to change your body constitution, the best way is to do more exercise . Walking, running, and stepping on pebbles are all effective ways to increase blood circulation, dredge meridians, and regulate qi and blood.

      4. Mugwort fumigation to treat uterine cold

      Buying some moxa sticks to smoke moxa is a good way to treat palace cold. Generally, two acupoints are selected: Qihai point, 1.5 inches directly below the middle of the belly button, and Guanyuan point, 3 inches directly below the middle of the belly button. Smoking and roasting moxa sticks for 30 minutes every day can be effective if persisted for a long time. In addition, there are plant-based built-in agents, which can better relieve palace cold.

      5. The Secret Method of Warming the Palace

      The secret method to warm the palace: 0.5 grams of deer antler powder, 1 Cordyceps sinensis root, egg 1 piece, a little salt, mix with water and steam into custard before eating. This food can warm the yang energy in the lower body, and it was often used as a monthly medicinal meal for concubines in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. Long-term consumption can regulate the coldness of the uterus, which is more effective than taking medicine.

      6. Avoid eating raw or cold food

      Women should not drink a lot of cold drinks or eat cold food during menstruation. Because congestion occurs in the pelvis and vagina during menstruation, consuming a large amount of cold drinks or cold foods will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal, heart and kidneys. Cold stimulation can also cause reactive uterine and pelvic vasoconstriction and spasm, leading to dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea and other diseases.

      7. It is not advisable to sit in a cold place

      If women often sit or lie on cool bricks or cement floors during menstruation, the moisture will attack the body, invade the skin, and stay in the meridians and joints, causing the joints and muscle tissue to shrink and spasm, leading to poor blood flow, blocked lymphatic circulation, and causing low back and leg pain, scanty menstruation, and dysmenorrhea.

      8. Do not take cold showers

      Many people like to take a cold bath or swim in the sea to cool off in summer, but menstruating women should avoid these activities. During women's menstruation, the endometrium sheds, causing wounds on the surface of the uterine cavity. At the same time, the acidity in the vagina is diluted by menstrual blood, reducing its own ability to inhibit or kill bacteria. If you swim or take a cold shower at this time, sewage and bacteria will invade the reproductive organs and cause infection.

      Women during menstruation are already in a state of low immunity. At this time, germs take advantage of the situation, not only uterine cold, but also easily induce Vaginitispelvic inflammatory disease and other things that are difficult to cure Gynecology disease. I hope all female compatriots will take good care of themselves.
