As compared to men, ESR is slightly higher in females especially during menstruation. Also, during pregnancy ESR remains constantly high for few females.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a ANTITHYROID ANTIBODIES (ANTI TPO AND ANTI THYROGLOBULIN ANTIBODY) Test or Take a DENGUE IGG - ELISA/ELFA - KA Test
