Normal armpit temperature for adult women

The temperature inside the human body is called body temperature. Maintaining a stable body temperature is a necessary condition to ensure the normal development of basal metabolism and life activities. Human body temperature is the substance that is converted into energy through material metabolism. So, what is the normal body temperature under the armpit of an adult woman? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

The body temperature of a normal person is relatively stable. It regulates the function of blood circulation and nerves through the specific immune nerve centers under the brain and midbrain to maintain a stable balance between heat production and heat dissipation. Under normal physiological conditions, when body temperature rises, the body maintains a relatively stable body temperature by reducing heat production and increasing heat dissipation; conversely, when body temperature drops, the melting point increases and heat dissipation decreases, keeping the body temperature at a normal level.

The normal body temperature of the human body is not an actual temperature point, but a temperature range. The body temperature in the shallow layer of the body is relatively stable and uniform, which is called shallow body temperature; while the temperature of the epidermis is affected by various factors, changes and varies greatly, which is called surface temperature. In clinical medicine, human body temperature refers to the mean superficial temperature. Generally speaking, the oral, duodenum and axillary temperatures are used as representatives, among which the duodenal temperature is closest to the superficial body temperature. Standard values: Oral sublingual temperature is 36.3-37.2℃, rectal temperature is 36.5-37.7℃ which is higher than oral temperature (0.2-0.5℃), and axillary temperature is 36.0℃-37.0℃. The standard for normal human body temperature is based on the standard values ​​of most people, not the definite standard values ​​for individuals.

The normal average body temperature of an adult woman under the armpit is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius (under the armpit). If it exceeds 37.1 degrees Celsius, it is a fever. 37.3 to 38 degrees Celsius is a low fever, and 38.1 to 40 degrees Celsius is a high fever. Temperatures above 40℃ are life-threatening at any time and anywhere.

The method to measure the normal body temperature of the human body is to measure the body temperature once at around 8 am, around 3 pm, and around 8 pm, and continue to measure accurately for several days. The most stable value is the normal body temperature.

When measuring body temperature, first lower the mercury column on the thermometer to below 35°C, then wipe it with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to disinfect it. Most people test the temperature by placing the thermometer under the armpit. For young or unconscious children, the rectal temperature can be measured.
