Patient's question:
How to regulate cold in the palace? Hello! I want to ask how to regulate cold in the palace. Starting from the first day of menstruation, I have stomach pain, and the doctor said I have cold in the palace. I often feel dizzy and tired, and my hands and feet can't get warm.Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that uterine coldness is related to causes such as kidney deficiency, spleen qi deficiency, blood deficiency, liver stagnation, phlegm-dampness, damp-heat, blood stasis, etc. Western medicine, on the other hand, considers such symptoms to be mostly associated with factors like age, nutrition, psychological factors, endocrine factors (hypothalamus, thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas), developmental factors, inflammation, tumors, and others.For those with uterine coldness who wish to conceive, it is essential to address the issue from two aspects:
First, avoid excessive consumption of cold and raw foods in daily life, pay attention to seasonal changes, and keep warm.
Second, herbal medicine can be taken to warm the yang, transform qi, strengthen the root, enrich essence, and regulate the conception channel.
When one realizes they have "uterine coldness," the most sensible approach is to seek treatment at a formal TCM hospital. Additionally, it is advisable to modify one's lifestyle during the treatment period. For example, avoid cold foods, reduce intake of cooling foods like cabbage, radishes, and green tea, etc.
