Is the process of warming the uterus really a miracle as rumored?
One of the methods shared by websites that attracted many women's attention on social networks with the name "Bach Doi Ha" and the advertisement: "Belly treatment helps clear blockage, remove toxins and weld moisture, circulate blood to nourish the uterus... Keep the uterus warm, improve the condition of the weldered uterus; best prepare for the pre-gravity and artificial insemination stages...".
Many people have spent millions on these uterine warmings.
Ms. Nguyen Hai Trang (character's name has been changed, 32 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) went to the Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Traditional Medicine for examination in the Sub-Department. Here, Ms. Trang was examined by a doctor and had a pulse arrest. Ms. Trang said that she often feels tired and especially every time she has her period, there are phenomena of labor, bloating...
Before that, she had also consulted many Western medicine methods, or went to spa facilities to do closed area sauna therapies, warming the uterus but had not improved her health.
Dr. Quan Vu Ngoc, Deputy Head of the Department of Sub-Department, Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Traditional Medicine and Pharmacy, said that Ms. Trang is one of the typical cases of poor reproductive health, accumulation of long-term risk of tumor and cancer diseases. These patients need to be treated with combined occident medicine and monitored regularly to gradually improve, it is impossible that a few treatments can end.
Uterine healing is only temporary support, treatment requires fundamental solutions
According to Dr. Ngoc, the concept of "cold blood" originated from Eastern medicine with the name of welded blood or welded blood vessel. In folk usage, this concept is translated as cold blood. In essence, this is a condition in which blood gas does not nourish the uterine and ovarian vessels well, leading to impaired reproductive function.
According to traditional medicine, there are three common causes of a cold uterus. First is the natural factor: People who are physically weak and have poor blood circulation are easily classified as weldered. Second is the living environment: Women who work long in humid cold environments, are often exposed to ice, cold storage... and are susceptible to welding. Thirdly, due to the consequences of illness or labor: After a serious illness, taking too many medications or working too much, causing weak blood pressure, not feeding the uterus well.
Common signs in women with a cold uterus include: Irregular menstrual periods, cycles that can last 40-60 days; low menstrual blood count, dark or black, thick and prone to lumps; severe abdominal pain or back pain during menstruation. They often have tired bodies, poor appetite, cold hands and feet and are prone to dizziness.
However, Dr. Ngoc emphasized that these signs are not enough to diagnose self: Children should absolutely not rely on some information online to make their own conclusions. Sometimes it's not cold but hot. If the method is applied incorrectly, the consequences can be more serious".
The current uterine heating method is often done through steaming, steaming, applying hot salt or using heat-retaining patches.
According to Dr. Ngoc, these methods can help temporarily relieve menstrual cramps by dilating muscles and blood vessels. However, this is just a temporary solution, not affecting the cause.
If it is a cold uterus, doing warm work can help some. But in reality, many places have people with cold uterums advised by default and then apply heat therapy. For people who are already subject to heat, this can cause disorders, causing the body to feel hot, acne, discomfort, and even affect hormonal function" - Dr. Ngoc warned.
