What is the body temperature of 33 degrees?

What's going on with a body temperature of 33 degrees? Regarding measuring body temperature, I believe that every health-conscious friend will measure their own temperature when they feel uncomfortable, and I also suggest that every family should be equipped with a thermometer that can be used at any time. Based on the measurement results, we can discover our own physical problems at the first time. But what's going on with a body temperature of 33 degrees? What harm does it do to the body? What is the lowest body temperature?

What is the lowest human body temperature?

Although humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth, their tolerance to low temperatures is limited. If a person is naked in an environment with a temperature below 27℃ or wears thin clothes and rests in an environment with a temperature below 19℃, there will be a negative balance of heat "input is not enough to cover expenditure". When the temperature is 10℃ and the wind is strong, the skin temperature of the hands gradually decreases. When the skin temperature of the hand drops below 15.5℃, the hand's operational flexibility is significantly reduced. In extremely cold seasons, people can be frozen or frostbitten in a short period of time. Temperatures below -5℃ can cause pain in fingers, and temperatures below -14℃ can cause frostbite on exposed fingers and ears. If a person's nutritional status is poor, once he stays in a cold environment for a long time, his body temperature will drop. When the body temperature drops below 33℃, the body temperature regulation center will malfunction; when the body temperature drops below 30℃, the functions of internal organs will decline significantly and consciousness will be lost; when the body temperature drops below 22℃, it will be difficult to maintain the life center; when the body temperature drops to 14℃-16℃, people will freeze to death.

What are the reasons for low basal body temperature?

1. Low basal body temperature may indicate ovulation. When a woman's menstruation comes, her basal body temperature is low; after ovulation, her basal body temperature will turn to high temperature. Generally speaking, the fertilization rate of a woman becomes lower 24 hours after ovulation; however, a man's sperm can survive in a woman's uterus for about 72 hours. Therefore, women should have sex when their basal body temperature is low and close to ovulation. They can have sex every two days, which can increase the chance of fertilization. If they wait until their basal body temperature reaches a high temperature before having sex, the chance of pregnancy will be reduced.

2. Low basal body temperature may be caused by polycystic ovary, which may manifest in the basal body temperature as a shorter high temperature period and, in severe cases, frequent low temperature. Women with this condition usually have familial hereditary diabetes. If they become pregnant and give birth, they are at high risk of gestational diabetes. 3. Low basal body temperature may be due to poor ovarian function. For people with poor ovarian function, the basal body temperature cycle will usually be shortened. The original 28 days may slowly become 24 days or 22 days, and the high temperature period will also be shortened accordingly. 4. Low basal body temperature may be caused by excessive prolactin. If prolactin is high, the high temperature period of basal body temperature will be shortened and the quality of eggs will be poor, so it is not easy to get pregnant or miscarriage is easy. 5. What causes low basal body temperature? Low body temperature will definitely affect blood circulation, so the skin starts to become dry and prone to acne, the hair starts to become dry and prone to hair loss, and the body is prone to water accumulation and swelling. Office ladies often experience stiff shoulders, back pain, and headaches, which are all related to the autonomic nervous system that regulates blood circulation. Although having a cold body is just a physical problem and is not fatal, it may lead to a decrease in immunity and cause diseases such as asthma and nephritis. Hypothermia in women is due to hormonal imbalance, which causes abnormal vasoconstriction and dilation and decreased blood circulation function. When blood circulation cannot regulate body temperature normally, the body begins to feel cold. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "disharmony of Qi and blood", and Japanese medical research also believes that "diseases will first invade the cold parts of the body." On the other hand, women are more prone to iron deficiency, and iron is an important material for making hemoglobin, and hemoglobin has the important task of transporting oxygen in the body. Women's menstruation in particular leads to iron loss, so this period is more likely to cause a drop in body temperature, and severe cases will cause iron deficiency anemia.
