Under normal circumstances, symptoms of cold uterus (gong han) may include abdominal pain, cold intolerance, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, abnormal vaginal discharge, and menstrual irregularities. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to promptly visit a qualified hospital for examination and treatment.

Attention should also be given to daily lifestyle adjustments.

Generally, symptoms of uterine coldness (gong han) may include abdominal pain, feeling cold or sensitivity to cold, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, abnormal vaginal discharge, and menstrual irregularities. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital promptly for examination and treatment. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Abdominal Pain

Patients with uterine coldness often experience lower abdominal pain, which may manifest as dull aching or cramping. Symptoms are usually more noticeable before or after menstruation and may affect daily life.

2. Cold Intolerance

Uterine coldness may cause cold hands and feet, low body temperature, and increased sensitivity to cold, especially in the lower abdomen and waist areas, particularly during cold weather.

3. Soreness and Weakness in the Waist and Knees

Uterine coldness may also cause aching and discomfort in the waist and back. Prolonged standing or walking may lead to fatigue, and the individual may generally feel physically weak.

4. Abnormal Vaginal Discharge

Uterine coldness may lead to increased vaginal discharge or changes in its consistency. Some patients may experience yellowish discharge, odor, or other abnormalities.

5. Menstrual Irregularities

Uterine coldness commonly causes menstrual cycle disturbances, such as reduced menstrual flow, prolonged periods, or irregular cycles. In severe cases, dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea may occur.

After consulting a physician, patients may consider using herbal remedies such as Motherwort Granules, Angelica Pills, or Cinnamon Twig and Poria Pills for regulation. It is also important to maintain proper lifestyle habits, avoiding cold or raw foods like ice cream, barbecued foods, or hot pot. Maintaining a positive mood can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall constitution.
