Will the body temperature rise during the premenstrual period?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

During menstruation, body temperature does not rise. Your condition may not be due to a cold. During ovulation, body temperature does change. Generally, during the first half of the menstrual cycle, body temperature is lower, and it becomes even lower during ovulation. Then, as the corpus luteum matures, it gradually rises to a peak (0.3~0.5 degrees Celsius higher than the basal body temperature), indicating the possibility of ovulation.
