Vaginal temperature

Vaginal temps are not uncommon, but I wondered if anyone had had their temperature taken in their vagina by a doctor as part of a normal exam.

It would be very weird taken temperature from vagina instead of rectum. Nowadays even taking temperature from rectum is quite rare.

I read somewhere that the temperature of the vagina can actually be a signal for when a woman is the most fertile. i wonder if fertility docs take vaginal temps

It's definitely a fertility thing. Sorry, I've never heard of a doctor taking the temp, but taking a temp vaginally the first thing in the morning and charting it is recommended by good fertility docs (your temp is higher when you ovulate and when you are pregnant.)

I would love to get my vaginal temp taken by a doctor. Like the idea of laying with my legs spread and a doctor or nurse holding a thermometer in there while on my back and submissive.

Vaginal temperatures are extremely rare unless the doctor wants to take temperature to gauge a woman's reproductive cycle.

Rectal temps for adults are rare these days unless the patient can not hold a thermometer in their mouth.

Thanks for the info marvin. I believe the rectal temperature is going to be higher because there is a much smaller surface-area for the body heat to escape that is why it takes longer to register than an oral temperature.

Vaginal temperature is as accurate as rectal one .

oral and axilia measures are a lot less accurate .

Vaginal temperature have not the same hazards (thermometric ulcers) as the rectal one ( especially when it has to be daily registered for example in case of fertility problem . So is't the best way to measure temperature ( for female patients of course )

My girlfriend has had a vaginal temp taken at the OB/GYN. they did this because she was getting Strange amounts of urinary tract infections (UTI)

they used a special probe called a vagitemp probe. Don't ask me where they got the name from.

Vaginal Temps are not to common here. Ive never heard of many ladys getting them
