What causes cold knees?

Whenever the weather gets a little colder, many people will feel their knees are cold, which is generally called cold base in traditional Chinese medicine. Treatment from Western medicine may not be very effective. However, this kind of physical condition can be adjusted through traditional Chinese medicine. First of all, people must know the cause of cold knees and then treat them accordingly.

1. It is most likely caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to keeping your legs warm. You can wear a knee pad on your legs. If possible, it is best not to ride an electric bicycle in winter to give your legs some time to recover. You can also apply some rheumatoid arthritis ointment on the cold part of your knee.

2. Another possibility is iron deficiency. When people are iron deficient, the amount of hemoglobin produced is often reduced, which affects blood circulation, so they are particularly afraid of cold. When the body's thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient, it will also affect normal metabolism and cause the person to be particularly afraid of cold.

3. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay more attention and observe yourself. If you feel that the pain is particularly severe or is getting worse, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a check-up. If there is any problem, it is better to seek treatment early. Of course, if there are no problems, that would be best. In your case, I suggest you take more rest. In particular, avoid doing overly strenuous exercises on your legs.

Cold or uncomfortable legs may also be caused by malnutrition or calcium deficiency. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to adding more foods high in calcium to your diet, such as spinach and tofu, which are more common.
