Will my body temperature rise during menstruation?

Menstruation can be said to be every girl's best friend that comes on time every month. It is the regular uterine bleeding caused by the shedding of the uterine wall. In fact, women will experience many discomfort symptoms during their menstrual cycle, which will have a certain impact on their physical and mental health. For example, will the body temperature rise during menstruation? Let’s discuss the interpretation below.

In fact, in the first half of the menstrual cycle, which is the follicular phase, a woman's ovulation body temperature is below 36 degrees. On the day of ovulation, the body temperature will drop to the lowest. In the follicular phase after ovulation, the body temperature will rise by 0.3-0.5 degrees and fluctuate between 36-37 degrees because the progesterone value is reasonable. If you are not pregnant, your body temperature will drop to the follicular phase level during your menstrual period.

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon. Many women start their menstrual cycle on the first day of their period. The time interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is what we call the menstrual cycle. Normally, women's menstrual cycle is 28-35 days, but some women will experience discomfort before menstruation, such as pelvic drop, back pain, headache, breast swelling, edema, irritability or anger, etc. This is premenstrual discomfort. However, if the premenstrual symptoms are mild, no treatment is necessary; if the symptoms are severe and affect work and life, then it is premenstrual syndrome.

During menstruation, women's body temperature generally rises slightly because the body secretes estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen can stimulate the body's temperature center in the brain, causing the body temperature to rise. It's not easy. Generally, it will rise by about 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius, which is normal. If it exceeds 0.5 degrees Celsius, it may be a fever caused by infection of the human body and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

In fact, overall, women will experience some unique symptoms before menstruation, and the key lies in the severity of the symptoms. If it is relatively mild, there is no need to be too anxious. You may not need treatment and can just adjust yourself. If the symptoms are more serious, you should seek medical attention immediately and receive targeted treatment.
