Female palace cold not only causes menstrual disorders, but also can lead to female infertility. Don't worry, traditional Chinese medicine has effective methods of regulation. Let's learn about them right away!
Causes of Female Palace Cold
1. Weak constitution
Some women have weaker constitutions, prone to fatigue, pale complexion, smaller appetite, average digestive function, aversion to cold and preference for warmth, or lower body temperature. These constitutions tend to be colder and more susceptible to palace cold.
2. Inadequate warmth
The uterus is the most vulnerable to cold in a woman's body. When the uterus is warm, qi and blood circulate smoothly in the body.
If the uterus is affected by cold pathogens, it can not only lead to infertility, but also manifest as dysmenorrhea, facial melasma, and delayed menstrual periods.
3. Consumption of cold foods
Whether it is summer or winter, ice cream and cold drinks are always popular with girls.
However, according to traditional Chinese medicine, women have a yin constitution and should not indulge in cold foods.
Consuming too many cold foods can deplete yang qi in the body, leading to the development of internal cold and affecting the uterus.
4. Improper weight loss
Improper weight loss often involves the use of drastic measures and non-normal methods to eliminate excess water and fat from the body. This results in a rapid loss of energy substances in the body, making it easier for cold pathogens to invade and attack the uterus.
Dangers of Female Palace Cold
1. Impaired warm nest function
Palace cold can cause ovarian dysfunction, affecting normal ovulation and leading to endocrine disorders. This can hinder the release of eggs, causing menstrual disorders and affecting normal conception and reproduction.
2. Uterine diseases
The uterus is the place where menstruation occurs and where embryos are conceived. Once palace cold occurs, it will inevitably affect the normal functioning of the female reproductive system, leading to menstrual disorders.
It can also affect the normal fusion of sperm and egg, preventing the formation of fertilized eggs and disrupting their normal growth and development after implantation in the uterus.
3. Fallopian tube diseases
Palace cold can easily lead to impaired fallopian tube function. The decline in fallopian tube function, the impaired ability of the fimbriae to pick up eggs, and the normal peristalsis of the fallopian tube are all affected.
This increases the difficulty of sperm and egg fusion and may even prevent the formation of fertilized eggs, thereby affecting normal conception and reproduction.
4. Weight gain
A common symptom of palace cold in women is weight gain, accompanied by shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, frequent dreaming, scanty periods, and anovulation.
When the uterus lacks warmth, in order to maintain its own physiological functions, fat acts as a "protector of the uterus." The colder the uterus, the more the body needs to store fat, resulting in weight gain.
