BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE

<Basal body temperature is important information from a woman’s body.>

The body temperature of an adult woman becomes low and high regularly after each

ovulation period. That is, the body tempera- ture keeps low until an ovulation period, then becomes high after the ovulation period. It lowers again after the menstruation.

The difference between the high temperature and low temperature is less than 1°C. The temperature measured to check the high and low-temperature periods is the basal body

temperature. The basal body temperature should be measured ideally in your mouth just

after you wake every morning.

If you record the basal body temperature for several months, you will see its change unique to you. From change of the basal body temperature, you can forecast your ovulation pe- riod and menstruation, then you can control birth. If your menstruation is not regular, you can receive proper advice based on the record of your basal body temperature from your doctor. Furthermore, you can forecast a menopausal disorder by observing your basal body temperature. The basal body temperature is important information for every woman.
