Therefore, it is necessary to find the clear cause for treatment. So what is the cause of women's low fever? Why not take control

Causes of low-grade fever in women

Physiological factors cause women to have a low-grade fever

Due to women's physiological characteristics, their body temperature during ovulation is slightly higher than that of men. Especially before menarche, during pregnancy, and during anemia, the body temperature may rise relatively and cause a short-term low fever. This type of fever is generally between 37.2-37.4 degrees.

Psychological factors cause women to have a low fever

There is also a kind of fever, often accompanied by symptoms such as tachycardia, dizziness, insomnia, and general fatigue. Most of them occur after psychological stress and anxiety, and there are no other causes. This is a multifunctional fever, which usually affects women more than men. It is a low-grade fever caused by non-organic lesions, also called multifunctional fever. If you touch the patient's skin firmly, you may only feel a slight fever (the body temperature is usually below 38°C), which is called "fever" in traditional Chinese medicine. Its characteristics are that the body temperature in the morning and before noon is higher than that in the afternoon and at night, and it is sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as sweating, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

Multifunctional fever is common in women aged 18-25 years old. The fever is cyclical and is higher in summer. It is also accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite, dizziness and weakness in the limbs. The fever decreases slightly in winter and other symptoms are also relatively alleviated. This is because the autonomic nervous system dysfunction and imbalance occur in female puberty, which causes functional obstruction of the specific immune nerve center in the human body, changes in heat production and heat dissipation, and causes functional fever.

What to do: Long-term psychological anxiety and bad temper can also cause confusion in the body's temperature nerve center, leading to persistent fever with unclear causes, which is called autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Irregular eating, drinking, living and traveling habits, mental depression and overwork are the main causes of autonomic nervous system disorder. Therefore, people who are busy, stressed and quiet at work should pay attention to preventing autonomic nervous system disorder. Pay more attention to physical exercise, pay more attention to adjusting your mood, etc.

Breast tuberculosis causes low-grade fever in women

Some women's low fever is caused by breast tuberculosis. Most patients are middle-aged and elderly married women aged 25-40. Their body temperature is mostly between 37.4-39.8 degrees. They often show symptoms of listlessness, poor appetite, and poor complexion. When you have a fever, your cheeks are not white but red, you feel tired and sleepy during the day and sweat profusely. Over time, you will become thinner and older.

What to do: If the above symptoms occur, check your breasts to see if they are symmetrical and whether there are any lumps when touched. Consult a doctor if necessary.

Symptoms of low-grade fever in women

In fact, many diseases can often cause low-grade fever, among which fever caused by inflammatory irritation is more common, or discomfort caused by chronic diseases. Especially those persistent low-grade fevers are mostly caused by inflammation, and they will get better once the inflammation subsides. Such as tuberculosis, chronic pyelonephritis, chronic bile duct infection, chronic tonsillitis, sinusitis, otitis media, bacterial endocarditis, pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic hepatitis, transformative hepatitis, etc.

In addition, non-infectious diseases such as hyperactivity of the adrenal glands, hyperactivity of the thyroid gland, and rheumatoid arthritis may also cause fever. Yes, in the early stages of many malignant tumors, fever is also one of the main early symptoms. For example, malignant lymphoma, kidney tumors, lung cancer, etc. all have symptoms of persistent low fever in the early stages of cancer.

What to do: For long-term low fever, you should go to the hospital for careful treatment. For this type of disease, it is not just about treating the fever, the key is to treat the symptoms. However, only after the above-mentioned various symptoms are eliminated can other treatments such as functional hypothermia be used.
