Fever during menstruation may be caused by a cold, as women’s immune systems are relatively weakened during their menstrual period, making them more susceptible to viral or bacterial infections that can lead to colds and fever. Secondly, fever may occur as part of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), resulting from fluctuations in hormonal levels. Additionally, fever may arise from gynecological infections contracted during menstruation, such as acute pelvic inflammatory disease.
