Dr (TCM) Simin Wei
Many women notice their hands and feet turn icy, periods feel heavier or more painful, and cycles become irregular during the colder months. If you’re trying to conceive, these winter changes can feel discouraging — but in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), they’re clear signs of what we call Cold in the Uterus.
This is one of the most common patterns I treat at Milton Keynes Chinese Medicine & Fertility Acupuncture Centre, using targeted fertility acupuncture and Chinese medicine to support women’s reproductive health.
Signs of a “Cold Womb”
Women seeking fertility acupuncture in Milton Keynes often report:
Cold hands and feet
Dark, clotty, or painful periods
Slow, irregular, or weak ovulation
Low libido
Feeling cold “deep inside”
Symptoms worsening in winter
These symptoms strongly suggest low Kidney Yang, meaning the womb isn’t warm enough for healthy hormone function or implantation.
Why Winter Makes Fertility Harder
Cold slows down circulation and weakens the body’s reproductive warmth.
This can lead to:
-
delayed or weaker ovulation
-
PMS and period pain
-
shorter luteal phases
-
poor implantation conditions
-
reduced IVF response
This is why women often seek extra support during winter at my clinic through fertility acupuncture, herbal medicine, and personalised TCM care.
How to Warm Your Womb This Winter
Simple TCM-based steps can make a real difference:
Eat warm, cooked meals; avoid iced drinks and raw foods
Keep feet, lower abdomen and lower back warm
Add warming foods (ginger, cinnamon, lamb, walnuts)
Prioritise rest and stress reduction
Use acupuncture to increase uterine blood flow and regulate hormones
