What is the difference between uterine cold and dampness

Women's physical characteristics are very special. It is very common to have uterine cold or heavy dampness. Once women have symptoms of uterine cold or heavy dampness, it will cause many abnormalities in their physical health, such as dysmenorrhea, gynecological inflammation, etc., which are very harmful to women's health. Most people tend to confuse uterine cold and heavy dampness. The following introduces the difference between the two.

What is the difference between uterine cold and dampness

There are many reasons for uterine cold. On the one hand, it is related to a person's innate constitution. Some women are afraid of cold and their hands and feet are prone to coldness. The "yang energy" in their bodies is insufficient, which makes them prone to "uterine cold". On the other hand, it is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, such as loving cold drinks, craving for coolness, setting the air-conditioner temperature too low, or wearing belly-exposing clothes for the sake of beauty, thin clothes in winter, etc. These can be regulated by strengthening the physique and improving the lifestyle through physical exercise. Damp-heat means that "dampness" and "heat" invade the human body together and cause illness. If people live in a relatively hot and humid environment, they are most likely to get damp-heat disease. Dampness can easily cause moisture to invade the human body, and internal dampness will change, that is, internal dampness will generate heat. Most damp-heat diseases are caused in this way. You can use lotus seeds, poria cocos and other medicinal materials for conditioning.

How to treat uterine cold and dampness

1. Cupping therapy: For persistent uterine cold, cupping can be used for conditioning, and the effect is very good. Cupping can force out the toxins in the body, relieving the pain of uterine cold without any side effects.

2. Avoid eating raw, cold and spicy food: If you have symptoms of uterine cold, you must not eat raw or cold food, including some cold vegetables and fruits. Also avoid spicy food to avoid aggravating the symptoms. It is best to eat more soups that warm the body, such as millet porridge, mutton soup, etc. Eat more cold-dispelling and warming foods such as jujube, water chestnut, longan, lychee, etc.

3. The most basic thing is to do more exercise: no matter what treatment method you stick to, auxiliary exercise is essential. Exercise and sweating can be a good way to remove moisture. Especially in the summer, don't turn on the air conditioner or fan. The sweat in the body must come out, otherwise the moisture will be too heavy and you will definitely get sick in the winter.

4. Moxibustion therapy: Use mugwort, light it and roast it on the Guanyuan acupoint. It is also very good to help eliminate moisture and make the body feel much more relaxed. Mugwort is bitter, pungent and warm in nature, and enters the spleen, liver and kidneys. The whole plant is used as medicine, which has the effects of warming the meridians, removing dampness, dispelling cold, stopping bleeding, relieving inflammation, relieving asthma, relieving cough, stabilizing pregnancy and anti-allergic.

What causes uterine cold and dampness?

1. Women who like to eat cold food, cold drinks, and cool fruits and vegetables generally have more or less symptoms of uterine cold.

2. Sitting in an air-conditioned room for a long time in the summer without doing outdoor activities or appropriate exercise.

3. Women who take weight loss drugs for a long time, generally these weight loss drugs contain strong and powerful drugs that expel excess water and fat from the body. This will cause the body to consume a lot of energy, and the cold evil is likely to take advantage of the opportunity to invade and attack the uterus.

4. Causes of miscarriage: We know that the growth of the fetus requires a large amount of energy substances from women, and miscarriage is equivalent to suddenly throwing away all those energy substances, which requires the consumption of a large amount of yang energy in the human body. If the body is not properly cultivated, the yang energy will be consumed for a long time, the uterus will lose its warmth, and uterine cold will result.

5. Personal constitution: Personal constitution is also a big reason. For example, women who work or live in cold areas for a long time may also suffer from uterine cold.
