Does basal body temperature rise in summer?

Summer is synonymous with heat, and it is also the time when the outside temperature is relatively high. People often find that their body surface temperature is higher than usual after being exposed to the sun. At this time, many people will wonder, since the outside temperature is so high, will my body temperature also be affected? Here, let me give you some basic knowledge about what basal body temperature is? Will the basal body temperature change in summer? How to measure?

1. People's body temperature does not rise in summer.

   Humans are warm-blooded animals with a body temperature regulation center that can regulate body temperature through metabolism in the body, such as sweating, heat dissipation from the body surface, etc., to keep the human body temperature at a constant level.

2. Basal body temperature:

   The state when the human body is awake and very quiet, and is not affected by factors such as muscle activity, mental tension, food and ambient temperature, is called the "basal state". The body temperature in the basal state is called the "basal body temperature", also called the "resting body temperature", which is usually measured before getting up in the morning. A woman's basal body temperature changes with the menstrual cycle. It is lower during the follicular phase, lowest on the ovulation day, and rises by 0.3~0.6℃ after ovulation .

3. The method of measuring basal body temperature is :

1. Measure your body temperature with an oral temperature meter every morning after waking up, without getting up, preferably at the same time. Generally speaking, the body temperature is always around 36.5 before ovulation. The body temperature drops slightly during ovulation. After ovulation, the temperature rises to around 37 degrees, with an average increase of about 0.5 degrees, and continues until the next menstruation, and then returns to the original body temperature level.

2. If you measure your basal body temperature for three consecutive menstrual cycles, you can estimate the ovulation date more accurately.

In addition, the body temperature measured every day should be recorded on a form to observe changes in body temperature at any time.

3. Under normal circumstances, the secretion of cervical mucus is only affected by the cyclical effects of ovarian hormones. After the menstrual period, the ovaries secrete the lowest level of estrogen. At this time, the cervical mucus is less and more viscous, contains fewer nutrients, and contains a large number of white blood cells. Before ovulation, the estrogen level in the body increases, and the cervical mucus becomes very thin, clear and transparent like egg white, and the amount also increases, containing nutrients such as sugar, vitamins and salts. It can supply the energy needed by sperm, maintain sperm activity, and help sperm continue to move forward and upward.

In the late ovulation period, the cervical mucus becomes viscous again under the influence of progesterone, the nutrients are reduced, and it is difficult for sperm to pass through. Therefore, during ovulation, sperm can most easily pass through the cervix, while it is more difficult for sperm to pass through at other times.
