易畏寒婦女有較高早產風險

Women's Chilling Tendency may Increase the Risk of Preterm Birth

畏寒在日文稱之為（“冷え症”，hiesho），定義為自己可以感覺到手腳四肢末梢冰冷，且對於寒冷的溫度過於敏感。大規模回溯世代研究發現，具有畏寒症狀的婦女跟沒有畏寒的孕婦相比，有畏寒症狀的早產相對風險為3.6倍。建議有畏寒症狀的婦女在準備懷孕時，應該諮詢專業的中醫師並且接受適當的調理治療。 The definition of cold-sensitivity is that one can feel cold limbs and limbs, and are too sensitive to freezing temperatures. A large-scale retrospective study found that women with cold-sensitivity were 3.6 times more likely to have preterm birth compared with those without cold-sensitivity. We recommend that women with cold-sensitivity should consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner and receive proper conditioning when preparing for pregnancy.
