What could cause an increase in body temperature?
I’ve just finished a course of anti biotics prescribed to try and solve a rise in body temperature to between 37.3 and 38.3 that occurs regularly along with occasional shivers, heavy sweating and chills particularly in the mornings. This is in addition to an ongoing widespread pelvic pain problem which may be endometriosis. I was told that infection with endo is not uncommon but the anti biotics have not made any difference to body temperature or to pain. An ultrasound showed a ‘probable haemorrhagic cyst’ size 21mm and the right ovary measures 36 x 19 x 38mm and the pain in that area is severe. It had been more widespread but the pain killers that I have been taking for two weeks have eliminated thge subsiduary pains and only the right ovary is causing concern. The doctor and the gynaechologist have both said it is uinlikely to be cancer and are sending me for a laporoscopy and I have another hospital appointment next week. Rise in body temperature is main concern.
