Menstruation is a very normal thing for women, even if it is accompanied by some physical discomfort. Many female friends are accustomed to it, but sometimes the accompanying symptoms are not so normal, such as abnormal body temperature. Some women have a body temperature of 37 degrees in the days before menstruation. Is this normal? Let me introduce you to the game.
Why is there still three days left until my menstrual period and my body temperature is 37 ℃
1. Generally, the body temperature of women is slightly higher than that of men of the same age. Women have higher body temperature before menstruation, and their body temperature drops by about 0.2-0.3 degrees during menstruation. When ovulation occurs, their body temperature usually drops by another 0.2 degrees, and then suddenly increases thereafter. During pregnancy (usually 3-4 weeks), there may be a sustained mild increase in body temperature in women. The normal body temperature fluctuates daily, and the temperature fluctuations in adult women are also related to their menstrual cycle.
2. During the menstrual cycle, the basal body temperature of women before ovulation is often low. The normal temperature before waking up in the morning (i.e. basal body temperature) is below 37 degrees Celsius, around 36.4 to 36.6 degrees Celsius.
3. After ovulation, the average temperature increases by about 0.5 degrees and continues to decrease until before menstruation. If the menstrual cycle has always been regular, but the menstrual period does not come on time and the basal body temperature remains above 37 degrees for more than three weeks, then after excluding other fever conditions, early pregnancy can be considered.
What should I do if my menstrual temperature is 37 ℃ in the past three days
1. Not advisable to eat too much salt: Eating too much salt can increase the storage of salt and water in the body, leading to symptoms such as headaches, excitement, and irritability before menstruation. It is recommended to start eating low salt foods 10 days before menstruation.
2. Not suitable for drinking tea: Drinking tea during menstruation can easily increase the loss of iron molecules. Normally, iron, an important element for synthesizing hemoglobin in the human body, is lost in a certain amount every day. But for women, during menstruation, as a large amount of blood is lost, iron will be lost more than usual.
3. Not suitable for sitz baths: During menstruation, slightly opening the cervix for sitz baths and baths can easily allow sewage to enter the uterine cavity, leading to inflammation of the reproductive organs.
Abnormal body temperature before menstruation is actually a normal thing, especially for women who are not in good health. The temperature fluctuations are even more severe, so there is no need to worry too much. As long as the body temperature is within a reasonable range, there will be no major problems. However, if the body temperature exceeds the normal range, it is better to take someone to the hospital as soon as possible.
