Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me if the body temperature drops a few days before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the basal body temperature of a normally ovulating woman follows a biphasic curve. It is lowest during ovulation, then rises, and remains elevated for about 12 days before dropping 1-2 days before or on the first day of menstruation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to the development of these conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a leukorrhea test. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, stimulating, and cold foods should be avoided.
