Many women feel weak after giving birth and often have lochia. Many mothers are prone to feel cold and sore back after labour. If untreated, it can lead to many postpartum health issues such as coagulated cold in uterus.
According to Chinese medicine, women belong to Yin and are naturally more susceptible to cold invasion. The manifestations of coagulated cold in the uterus include a cold abdomen, cold hands and feet, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhoea, infertility and loss of libido.
Postpartum moms are weaker and tend to accumulate cold and deficiency of qi. Some may even feel pain in the abdomen. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this is a sign that the body’s internal qi is not running smoothly, and there is more static than dynamic, so the body is less energetic. In addition to this, there is also external cold, which is caused by external factors affecting the internal environment of the body and blocking its operation. There are many causes of coldness in the uterus after childbirth, such as:
Iron is the essential element of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is responsible for the transport of nutrients in the body. During pregnancy, the mother is constantly distributing nutrients to the fetus, consuming a lot of qi and blood. If iron is not replenished in time, it can lead to anemia and chills.
Many moms are eager to regain their figure after labour. Excessive dieting or exercise can lead to malnutrition. The lack of energy in the body makes it more susceptible to the invasion of cold and leads to cold in the womb. Secondly, many new moms would wear tight-fitting clothes and trousers in order to get their bodies in shape. This is the time when the body is recovering, strong pressure and shaping can negatively affect blood circulation. You should be extra careful if you are suffering from anemia.
Some moms may indulge in ice cream, iced drinks, frozen fruit and other foods after labour. Consuming too much cold food can easily lead to damage to yang energy.
Emotional depression can easily lead to stagnation of qi in the liver, resulting in poor qi and blood flow. Stagnant qi and blood can easily lose nutrients. If a woman is in a negative mood for a long time, it can affect the flow of yang energy and lead to coldness in the womb.
