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.
