Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for female friends. During a female menstrual cycle, the body temperature of female friends changes from high to low. So, will the temperature drop during menstruation?
The body temperature will decrease during menstruation. Generally speaking, menstruation will occur on the same day after the temperature drops, with a temperature drop of about 0.3-0.5 degrees.
In addition to ovulation, the ovaries also secrete hormones. The follicle grows and matures before ovulation, and estrogen secretion is the main factor at this time. Follicles form the corpus luteum after ovulation, and individuals with corpus luteum can produce two hormones, estrogen and progesterone.
Progesterone can stimulate the body temperature center in women, causing a slight increase in body temperature compared to usual. For women with normal health conditions, high temperatures usually last for about 12 days after ovulation. As the luteal function in the body gradually declines, body temperature will decrease. Within 24 hours after the basal body temperature of female friends drops, menstruation may occur clinically.
For female friends, changes in body temperature have the following guiding significance:
1. Continuous and scientific monitoring of biphasic body temperature can serve as an indicator of whether ovulation is normal in female friends, and the specific time of ovulation is within 2 to 3 days before changes in biphasic body temperature, while monophasic body temperature can confirm ovulation and corpus luteum formation.
If the biphasic high temperature period (luteal phase) exceeds 16 days, it is possible to conceive, which is a good sign for infertile patients undergoing treatment. For those with a history of habitual miscarriage, protective measures should be taken at this time.
3. In medicine, it is generally believed that the high temperature maintenance period of the body temperature curve should not be less than 12 days, and the normal increase in body temperature is roughly 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will be considered as luteal dysfunction.
