What is the normal body temperature for men?

The normal body temperature of the human body is not an actual temperature point, but a temperature range. The body temperature of the shallow layer of the body is relatively stable and uniform, which is called the shallow body temperature; while the temperature of the epidermis is affected by many factors, and the changes and differences are large, which is called the surface temperature. The human body temperature specifically referred to in clinical medicine refers to the average shallow temperature. So, what is the normal body temperature of men?

The normal body temperature of men is between 36-37℃ if measured accurately under the armpit. The normal body temperature of men and women is the same, and the core temperature of the body is generally between 37-37.5℃. The armpit temperature is normally between 36-37℃, the oral temperature is normally between 36.2-37.2℃, and the duodenal temperature is closest to the core temperature of the body, with a standard value between 36.5-37.5℃. The body temperature of the general human body is the lowest in the morning when there is no activity. After activities during the day, when the emotions are excited, or after a full meal, the body temperature will rise slightly. However, no matter how it fluctuates, this kind of body temperature must fluctuate within a normal range. Generally speaking, the body temperature of young people is slightly higher than that of middle-aged and elderly people, but it is still within the normal range.

The standard for normal human body temperature is based on the standard value of most people, not the absolute standard value for an individual.

Data Standards

The standard for normal human body temperature is based on the standard value of most people, not the absolute standard value for an individual.

There are differences in body temperature in the morning, noon and evening, in every part of the body, and between men and women. The normal body temperature of the human body has a relatively stable range, but it is not stable and will not change. The average oral temperature (also known as oral temperature) is 36.3℃～37.2℃, the armpit temperature is 0.2℃～0.5℃ lower than the oral temperature, and the rectal temperature (also known as anal temperature) is 0.2℃～0.6℃ higher than the oral temperature. During the day, the body temperature is the lowest at 2 to 5 in the morning and the highest at 5 to 7 in the afternoon, but the temperature difference within a day should be less than 0.8℃. In addition, the body temperature of women is generally about 0.35℃ higher than that of men. The body temperature of women also changes slightly during menstruation.

In a healthy state, if the diet is normal and the clothing is appropriate, the body temperature is generally stable, that is, it is maintained at around 37℃ (approximately 36.2℃～37.2℃), and does not change due to changes in external temperature. The average normal body temperature is between 36 and 37℃ (underarms). Exceeding this range is fever. 37.3_38℃ is a low fever, and 38.1_41℃ is a high fever.

There are three common locations for measuring body temperature, namely the mouth, armpit and anus:

The normal body temperature of children is between 36.5℃ and 37.5℃ at the anus.

For children, the oral temperature is between 36.2℃ and 37.3℃;

For children, the temperature at the armpit is between 35.9℃ and 37.2℃.

According to accurate measurement, children and adolescents are considered to have a fever when their temperature exceeds the normal range by more than 0.5℃. A temperature not exceeding 38℃ is considered a low fever, and a temperature exceeding 39℃ is considered a high fever.
