Female basal body temperature

Many people know that women's menstruation is a sign of the body that marks the exact date of ovulation and safe period. However, very few people know the importance of female basal body temperature to women, and many people have never even heard of this term. In fact, women's basal body temperature conveys their physical condition every day, but many people ignore it.

So what exactly is female basal body temperature? What are the necessary functions of female basal body temperature? What symptoms are related to changes in female basal body temperature? Many women who want a baby will ask their doctors these questions, which are introduced below.

The basal body temperature of a normal woman is based on the ovulation day, and is low at first and high at the end. Before ovulation, there is less progesterone and the body temperature tends to be low, generally 36.2℃. After ovulation, body temperature rises sharply, generally increasing by 0.3℃-0.6℃, causing the basal body temperature to reach 36.7℃, showing a high temperature trend. In general, women's basal body temperature has the following 6 functions:

1. Check the development of the corpus luteum: The day after a woman ovulates, the corpus luteum is formed in the ovaries. The health of the corpus luteum is directly related to the health of the uterus and the chance of pregnancy.

2. Seize the opportunity to conceive, detect early pregnancy and early pregnancy safety: when a woman's basal body temperature is low and close to ovulation, she should have sex to increase the chance of pregnancy;

3. Identify the type of amenorrhea: Some women have amenorrhea for unknown reasons. The basal body temperature can also be used to preliminarily determine the location of the amenorrhea lesion. If the basal body temperature is lower at the front and higher at the back, it means that the uterus may be the site of the lesion.

4. Discovery of polycystic ovary: If the high temperature period is short, and in severe cases the low temperature may continue, then there is a high possibility of polycystic ovary syndrome.

5. Monitor ovarian function: If the cycle of basal body temperature is shortened from the original 28 days to 24 days or 22 days, and the high temperature period is shortened accordingly, it means that the ovarian function is not good, which will affect the secretion of female hormones and cause women to enter menopause early. 6. Indicates other diseases: If the basal body temperature does not decrease during menstruation, it may be endometriosis or early subclinical miscarriage.

Through the introduction of the above content, we can understand that changes in women’s basal body temperature are related to many situations and cannot be judged solely. Women who want to have a baby should pay attention to the relationship between their basal body temperature and the corpus luteum. Women who have learned the relevant knowledge can pay attention to changes in their bodies from all aspects and correctly use the characteristic value of women's basal body temperature.
