Why is my womb always hot?
This was the question a patient asked from my childhood friend who happens to be a Gynaecologist. She said she had three miscarriages to hotness of the womb in fact now she has stopped trying for a baby after trying so many remedies including taking a 6 months break and trying to conceive again none of which worked.
According to the Gynaecologist, she said some women feel very hot from the inside but they have normal temperature outside the body. There are some people who sweat profusely when this internal heat begins but others don’t sweat outside, they feel the heat internally without sweating.
Internal heat occurs irrespective of whether the atmosphere is hot or not. The excessive heat is however not good for the foetus in the womb, for one thing it won’t nourish the baby and it also hinders conception. If it’s from birth, it usually make women barren, but if it happens accidentally it could be as a result of internal and external medicines, too much hot meat, drink, and exercise.
Causes of Internal Heat in the body
Internal heat is not a disease, it’s rather a symptom or sign from your body that something is wrong but when the cause is found and treated, the internal heat stops surfacing. Here are some of the other causes of internal heat;
Dehydration
Hot atmosphere which makes it impossible for the body to regulate it’s temperature through sweating.
Improper clothing.
Exposing the body parts in the sun can also cause internal heat.
Too much exercises
Strenuous exercises too can also cause internal heat
Drugs
Some drugs and stimulants like cocaine, marijuana can also cause internal heat
