Is it normal to have a menstrual temperature of 37 degrees?

As we all know, there are many symptoms of menstruation, and the manifestations and symptoms of many people are different. This is very normal. The body temperature is generally higher before menstruation. So is it normal for the body temperature to be 37℃ during menstruation? Let's ask an expert to introduce it, hoping to help everyone.

My temperature has been between 37 degrees and 37.3 degrees during my period. Is this normal?

Actually it's normal, don't worry. Under normal circumstances, the normal human body temperature is 36-37 degrees Celsius (measured under the armpit), and the body temperature of women will rise before menstruation, and will return to the original normal body temperature after the menstrual period.

During the early stages of menstruation, the body temperature of pregnant women is between 36.9°C and 37.2°C. If this high temperature period lasts for more than 21 days and there are no other abnormal reactions, no menstruation, or even early pregnancy reactions, it can generally be considered a manifestation of menstruation. If the body temperature is high and low, it should be taken seriously, especially for patients with recurrent miscarriage, who should take timely and effective measures.

After a woman's menstruation, her progesterone level rises. Generally, a woman's body temperature during the follicular phase and ovulation period is 36.5°C, and her body temperature will rise by 0.5°C during the luteal phase. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to have a higher body temperature in the early stage of menstruation. Women can pay attention to their own body temperature changes and basically infer menstruation based on this. If they find abnormal changes in body temperature, they should go to the hospital for a physical examination in time to check for potential medical risks.

Causes of elevated body temperature before menstruation

One of the main symptoms of menstruation is increased body temperature. The body temperature during ovulation is around 37°C, and the increased body temperature will continue until the middle of pregnancy. This is mainly due to the transformation of growth hormone.

Generally speaking, a woman's body temperature during ovulation will change with the menstrual period. Around the time of menarche, the body temperature of a woman will remain at around 36.5°C under the action of estrogen, and then the body temperature will slowly drop, reaching the lowest point during ovulation. After ovulation or pregnancy, the body temperature will rise by 0.3-0.5°C due to the influence of estrogen. The body temperature returns to normal on the day before the next menstruation or when it comes.

The increase in body temperature before menstruation is because after ovulation in the uterus and ovaries, the egg produces progesterone and metabolizes estrogen, which can increase body temperature. If the egg is fertilized and menstruation occurs, the progesterone will continue to metabolize estrogen, so the body temperature will be kept at a higher level.

Women's body temperature remains stable after menstruation. If the human body temperature changes, it will remain within the range of 36.9℃--37.2℃. If the body temperature fluctuates, it may be a sign of corpus luteum deficiency. Insufficient corpus luteum can easily lead to miscarriage or infertility. When there is a drastic change in body temperature, it should be taken seriously. For women who have experienced miscarriage, they should go to the hospital for examination in time and take effective measures.

In addition, if a woman finds that her body temperature rises abnormally and she feels uncomfortable before her period, she should suspect that she has a fever. It is recommended that she go to the hospital for examination and seek timely treatment.
