As we all know, Chinese medicine likes to tell patients not to eat ice, but most people don't know why, only know that eating ice is not good. What's wrong with it?

Generally speaking, cold foods (including foods with a temperature lower than room temperature), such as watermelon and sashimi, will harm the spleen after being eaten in the body, and the function of the spleen will be reduced when cold is dominant. Spleen governs muscles, and uterus itself is an organ composed of muscles. Therefore, the uterine wall and blood vessels will contract abnormally, leading to the deterioration of qi and blood circulation in the uterine environment, resulting in qi stagnation and blood stasis, and finally becoming a tangible abscess, which is a common "uterine myoma."

So don't eat food without ice. People who like ice very much should reduce the frequency, about once a week 1 time. When eating ice, you can put it in your mouth first, and then swallow it when the temperature is close to your body temperature, at least to reduce the harm.

There was a case in the outpatient department. A young girl came to me because of her slightly protruding abdomen. She wanted to lose weight through acupuncture and catgut embedding.

I visually observed that her stomach was crooked, so I lay down and touched it. The touch is not as soft as fat, but it will bounce back when you press it a little hard. It's like a ball in her belly. I judged that there should be something growing in her uterus, and asked her to confirm it with ultrasound. The results confirmed that there was a myoblastoma with a diameter of 65438±05cm in the uterus.

This girl loves ice very much, especially in summer when she eats ice for almost three meals. According to Chinese medicine theory, ice is cold. When eating ice occasionally, it doesn't matter if you swallow it in your mouth first, but if you eat too much, especially before or during menstruation, it is recommended to avoid it.

Chinese medicine says "cold coagulation". When the weather is cold, if we don't wear enough clothes, our bodies will unconsciously shrink together. Similarly, the uterus contracts when it is cold. Once the uterus contracts, menstrual blood cannot be discharged smoothly and stays in the body. Unclean blood accumulates in the uterus again and again, which is of course not good for the body.

If there is a backward uterus and there is no clean blood reflux, it may run to fallopian tubes, ovaries and other places, causing "chocolate cysts." Women should learn to eat ice wisely so as not to sacrifice their health to satisfy their appetite.
