Will my body temperature rise before my period?

Menstruation is very important for women. It is a physiological cycle of women. Menstruation is also a barometer of women's physical health. Under normal circumstances, women's menstruation is cyclical. Most women will have some discomfort symptoms during menstruation, such as lower abdominal distension, back pain or chest pain, etc. However, these are normal phenomena. You don’t have to worry too much. In fact, the body temperature of women will change before menstruation.

Does your body temperature rise before your period?

The body temperature will not rise during menstruation. However, body temperature changes during ovulation. Generally speaking, the body temperature is lower in the first half of the menstrual cycle, and even lower during the ovulation period. Then it gradually rises to a peak value (0.3 to 0.5 degrees Celsius higher than the basal body temperature) as the corpus luteum matures, and ovulation is possible. Body temperature changes after pregnancy. The normal basal body temperature of women presents a two-way curve, that is, it is lower before ovulation and rises after ovulation. If the menstruation is due but the temperature does not drop after the rise, and it remains for more than 18 days, it means that you are pregnant.

In general, women's body temperature is a little low before menstruation, and will be significantly higher in the second half of the period. If there is no discomfort in the recent period, then no treatment or conditioning is needed. It is recommended that you must pay more attention to personal hygiene during menstruation. It is best to use clean water to wash your vulva every day. You must pay more attention to diet conditioning at other times. You cannot eat raw, cold food during this period. You need to eat more light food.

Therefore, a woman’s body temperature will not rise before menstruation, but she will feel the temperature rise when she ovulates, so she needs more rest during menstruation. The diet should be light, and avoid eating anything too spicy or cold. Girls are more likely to catch cold during menstruation, so take good care of yourself.

How to calculate the menstrual cycle

The menstrual cycle is calculated from the first day of the current menstruation to the first day of the next menstruation, which is called the menstrual cycle. The calculation of the menstrual cycle should include the time of menstruation. For example, if the first day of your most recent menstrual period is September 31st, and the first day of your previous menstrual period is September 1st, the number obtained by subtracting the two dates is 30, which means that your menstrual cycle is 30 days.

Normally, a woman's menstrual cycle is 28 to 32 days. Due to individual differences, the length of the menstrual cycle may vary from person to person. A week earlier or later can be considered normal. As long as a certain regularity can be maintained, it cannot be considered as irregular menstruation.

In addition, many women are usually asked by doctors about the time of their last menstrual period when they see a gynecologist. The last menstrual period refers to the menstrual period most recently to the date of the consultation, and should be calculated from the first day of bleeding.

In addition, when a girl reaches her first menstruation, her ovaries are still in the development stage and their functions are not yet perfect, so they may become dysfunctional and irregular, causing abnormal menstrual cycles. This situation is normal and there is no need to worry. As you age, your ovarian function will gradually mature and your menstrual cycle will become regular.
