What is the normal body temperature after abortion?

For women who have an unexpected pregnancy, if they do not plan to have a baby for the time being, they often have to face the phenomenon of miscarriage after an unexpected pregnancy. Abortion is undoubtedly very harmful to women. After the abortion operation, women must rest for a period of time so that the body can slowly recover. However, everyone knows that the body temperature of women during pregnancy is usually higher than that of normal people. What is the normal body temperature after an abortion?

What is the normal body temperature after abortion?

The normal body temperature after miscarriage is consistent with that of non-pregnant people. Women need to prevent secondary infection after miscarriage. An axillary temperature of 37.5℃ can be considered normal body temperature. It is best to use a mercury thermometer when measuring body temperature. If it exceeds 37.5℃, you should consider bacterial infection. It is best to go to the hospital in time and find out the cause of the infection.

The body temperature after miscarriage is not much different from that of a normal person. Generally speaking, the normal axillary temperature for women is 36.0-37.4℃, the oral temperature is 36.7-37.7℃, and the rectal temperature is 37.0-37.9℃. From this, it can be seen that the temperature of the armpit is lower than the rectal temperature and oral temperature. When women measure their body temperature, they should pay attention to measuring it for a sufficient period of time and keep it for ten minutes. Secondly, try to use a mercury thermometer.

The temperature of adults is usually measured under the arm. If a woman's armpit temperature remains below 37.5℃, her body temperature can be considered normal. If the temperature exceeds this, it means you may have a fever and it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. After miscarriage, if good care is not provided, it may lead to postpartum infection and cause the woman's body temperature to rise. Therefore, it is very necessary to closely monitor body temperature for about a week after delivery.
