Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The main methods for treating cold uterus syndrome include the following:
1. Dietary Regulation: Consume more warm-natured foods such as lamb, brown sugar, and rose tea, and avoid cold-natured foods such as crab, watermelon, and ice cream. This helps improve body constitution and alleviate symptoms of cold uterus.
2. Appropriate Exercise: Choose suitable forms of exercise such as brisk walking, jogging, or yoga to enhance yang energy and promote blood circulation, thereby improving cold uterus syndrome.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapies: For example, moxibustion at specific acupoints such as Guanyuan (CV4), Qihai (CV6), and Xuehai (SP10) can help treat cold uterus. In addition, methods such as soaking feet in herbal medicine or applying heat packs may also be beneficial.
4. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, use warming medications such as Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan or Ai Fu Nuan Gong Wan to warm the meridians, dispel cold, and nourish qi and blood.
