Q Since surgery my body feels weak, I catch colds easily, and my lower abdomen is always cold and sluggish. Can Korean Medicine boost this kind of lowered stamina?
A It's common for energy and resistance to drop and the body to feel cold after major surgery, and this improves as recovery progresses. Care that replenishes depleted qi and blood and warms the body helps boost this kind of overall decline in stamina.
Detailed Answer
After major surgery like a hysterectomy, there can be a period of lowered energy and resistance, easy fatigue, a cold sensation in the lower abdomen, and frequent minor illnesses. This is a natural part of the recovery process, and generally improves gradually with good nutrition, sleep, keeping the body warm, and avoiding overexertion. Adequate nutrition, sleep, and moderate activity form the foundation of stamina recovery.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
In Korean Medicine, lowered resistance is seen as a state where the body's protective energy has been depleted and the lower abdomen has become cold. At Dongjedang, we focus on replenishing the qi and blood depleted by surgery and warming the body to rebuild the protective energy, helping a body that tires easily and feels cold get back on the track of recovery.
