Temperature with menopause
When menopause, the woman's well-being changes greatly, and not for the better. In this case, many decide that they just overtired or caught a cold. But even when a woman understands why such symptoms have arisen, she still has some questions. For example, when the body temperature rises with menopause, is it worth worrying?
Causes of the high fever with menopause
Even in a completely healthy person, body temperature can increase by one to two tenths above 37. Especially during menopause this indicator may be unstable. The standard body temperature (36.6 degrees), as a rule, happens only after a dream. And until the evening, it can go up to 37.3. Most often, the temperature rises during menopause. Also, while a woman can feel constant fatigue and drowsiness, be "broken".
Pathogenesis
Tides is the main symptom of menopause, as well as a clear cause of increased local temperature. They appear due to a violation:
- In the work of the central nervous system.
- Thermoregulation.
- Circulation.
During menopause due to a decrease in the number of follicles in the ovaries, as well as a decrease in the frequency of the exit of the sexual cell, the amount of certain hormones (in particular, progestins and estrogens) also decreases. As a result, after a while in the blood, the concentration of LH and FSH increases, which leads to a deficiency of some important substances in the tissues. Information between different parts of the body is transmitted with disabilities.
As a result, the brain reacts to the temperature change in a different way. Periodically, the brain receives information about overheating and the body immediately tries to resolve this condition. The upper part of the body "poured" a hot wave, dyspnoea, dizziness, increased heart rate, difficulty breathing. At this point, the patient's temperature can rise to 38 degrees.
Immediately after the tide, the woman has a chill. The cause of it is both high temperature and significant sweating. Thus, the body tries to regulate the tide. The skin is covered with sweat, there is a strong fatigue, the upper and lower limbs become numb and become cold. Since the number of such tides can reach up to fifty a day, a woman feels broken and sick.
Symptoms of the high fever with menopause
The most common symptoms of fever in menopause are:
- The tide is a sensation of intense heat in the upper part of the body. Excessive sweating, face blushes, heavy breathing. Dizziness, dyspnea, weakness, nausea, headaches, and heart rate may also increase.
- Hyperthyroidism (severe sweating) at night - appears due to a decrease in the amount of estrogen in the blood.
- Constant feeling of fatigue.
Temperature 37 with menopause
With menopause, raising the body temperature to 37 degrees is considered the norm. So do not worry in this case. The reason for anxiety and taking special drugs (after examination and appointment of a doctor) is considered when the temperature in women during menopause rises above 38 degrees. Moreover, it should be taken into account that during hot flushes the patient may feel a fever subjectively, however, the body temperature is normal.
Temperature at hot flashes
Tides are a very common symptom in menopause, they are noted in 75% of all women who entered this period.
When the temperature rises, the woman blushes the skin of her neck and face, sweating appears and sweating, palpitation increases. In patients, tides, as well as an increase in temperature during them, occur with different frequency and force.
In this case, hot flashes can occur in women of climatic age for one or several years. If the temperature in this state passes a mark of 38 degrees, it is worthwhile to see a doctor who will write out effective medications.
Complications and consequences
When a woman during menopause greatly increases body temperature, it can be evidence of the development of many serious diseases. When the balance of important hormones changes dramatically in the body, this always leads to a weakening of immunity. Because of this, the body appears favorable conditions for the development of infections in the urinary and reproductive organs. This can be explained by the fact that the mucous membrane of the vagina and the urethra becomes less protected from bacteria.
Also in women, the risk of developing malignant and benign formations - myomas, hyperplastic processes in the endometrium, and tumors in the ovaries - increases in the period. If the subfebrile temperature lasts for weeks at a high level, this is an occasion to consult a doctor and be examined.
Diagnostics of the high fever with menopause
With an increase in temperature during menopause, it is necessary to find out what root causes led to its appearance. The fact is that not every time the body temperature rises even by 1-1.5 degrees, one can talk about pathology, after all, such a process is considered normal, especially in the evening, when the body gets tired all day.
To diagnose subfebrile temperature, it is necessary to analyze its curve. This process takes place only under the supervision of a specialist:

- The analysis is carried out for three weeks, after which the data should be analyzed by the attending physician.
After the doctor diagnoses, it is also necessary to conduct relevant profile and laboratory studies. In the process of establishing the main reason why a woman has a fever at a climatic age, the doctor can recommend other tests and tests: blood test, feces analysis, urinalysis, lung and sinus x-ray, otolaryngoscopy, ultrasound, tuberculosis tests, ECG.
Treatment of the high fever with menopause
If the high temperature is a consequence of menopause, and not a concomitant severe illness, then the doctor can advise medicines to adjust the patient's condition. With tides, it is enough just to correct the thermoregulation disturbances, so that the woman feels much better.
