Recently, the issue of women’s body cold has become a hot topic on social platforms and health forums. Many women report that their hands and feet feel cold even in warm environments, which even affects their daily life.

1. Common causes of body cold in women
According to discussions between medical experts and netizens, women are more likely to feel cold than men, which is mainly related to the following factors:
| Cause classification | Specific performance | scientific explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Physiological differences | Less muscle mass and different fat distribution | Women's muscles have weaker heat-generating capacity. Although there is a lot of subcutaneous fat, it is concentrated in the buttocks rather than the limbs. |
| Hormonal effects | Increased body coldness during menstruation/menopause | Changes in estrogen levels cause vasoconstriction and affect peripheral blood circulation |
| lifestyle | Dieting, sitting for long periods of time, wearing thin clothing | Insufficient caloric intake or lack of exercise lowers basal metabolic rate |
| disease factors | anemia, hypothyroidism | Insufficient hemoglobin or abnormal thyroid hormone secretion leading to thermogenesis disorder |
2. Improvement methods that are hotly discussed across the Internet
Solutions frequently mentioned on social platforms in the past 10 days include:
| method type | Specific measures | Discuss the popularity index |

2."Physical differences are real" school: Supporters of traditional Chinese medicine quoted the theory of "Yang deficiency leads to external cold" in the "Huangdi Neijing", pointing out that there are individual differences in body temperature regulation ability (the highest number of views of the relevant video on Station B exceeded one million).
4. Abnormal signals to be wary of
Experts remind that if you are accompanied by the following symptoms, you should seek medical treatment in time:
-Thick coats are still required in summer
- Body temperature consistently lower than 35.5℃
- Simultaneous occurrence of hair loss, constipation, and drowsiness
By analyzing recent Internet data, it can be seen that the problem of female body cold involves multiple factors such as physical, psychological, and environmental factors. It is recommended to combine scientific examination with life adjustment to avoid blindly following Internet folk remedies.
