Despite the serious development of obstetrics andGynecology, including methods for diagnosing various pathologies in the planning of pregnancy and childbearing, the basal temperature is actively measured today. Because it is an effective, simple and cheap method that can be used by any woman at home.
To get a reliable result, the basalThe temperature during pregnancy should be measured in the morning after waking up. The minimum required sleep duration before this is 6 hours. Measurements are made by the thermometer rectally.
They should be carried out by the same thermometer.Before the measurement, it is advisable not to make sudden movements, not to talk and not get out of bed. At the same time, the normal basal temperature during pregnancy should be above 37. This is due to the increased level of the hormone progesterone, which supports carrying the baby.
If several measurements in a rowrecorded low basal temperature during pregnancy, this indicates its lack. What can lead to spontaneous miscarriage. Therefore, this situation is a reason to immediately visit a doctor.
If basal temperature is measured atpregnancy, then this pathology can be seen even before any external manifestations. This is especially true for women who have already had spontaneous miscarriages or have their threat, including according to ultrasound. And also for those who are undergoing treatment for this.
After 16 weeks, the basal temperature during pregnancy decreases and is no longer of diagnostic value. Therefore, its measurements can be terminated.
If the temperature is 37.8 degrees and higher, then this may indicate the presence of inflammatory processes. This is a threat to the fetus, so you need to consult a doctor.
In addition, temperature measurement can be effectively used in pregnancy planning. It helps to determine ovulation, when the highest probability of conception.
And also fix the fact of implantation of the egginto the endometrium of the uterus and the onset of pregnancy. According to the temperature graphs, it is possible to assess the work of the endocrine and reproductive system of a woman, to suspect the shortage and excess of certain hormones.
In order to get a reliable picture, they need to be built within 3 cycles. Temperatures up to 37 at the beginning of the cycle are the norm.
There is a slight decline before ovulation, andthen a sharp rise above 37. A week after it, the temperature can drop again by a few tenths of a degree, and then rise again above 37. This phenomenon is called implantation drooping, during this period the egg cell attaches to the endometrium. The decrease in temperature is caused by the release of the hormone estrogen.
Это явление свидетельствует о наступившей of pregnancy. A few days before the onset of the proposed menstruation, the temperature should again fall below 37; if this does not happen, then the child has begun to bear.
At low temperatures, after ovulation, progesterone deficiency can be suspected. If it is high and before ovulation, then it is possible that a lot of prolactin.
Temperature measurement is a very effective method, but it also has a drawback. The result is influenced by many factors that must be considered:
- changes in total temperature;
- local inflammations;
- taking drugs and alcohol;
- use another thermometer;
- sex or masturbation the day before;
- other measurement time;
- sleep less than 5 hours;
- diarrhea;
- unusual temperature conditions.
Their presence should be marked on the chart and taken into account when analyzing it.
Therefore, the basal temperature atPregnancy should be measured by women who have a chance of miscarriage. It is a simple and cheap, but very informative method when used correctly. In addition, it is very useful for women when planning pregnancy.
