What are the dangers of menstrual headaches?

Many women will have some menstrual syndrome during menstruation. The most common one is back pain and swollen breasts. Some women will also experience dizziness. It has even become a major worry for many women during menstruation and makes people feel very painful. Everyone must be very curious, what is the cause of dizziness? And how to relieve it? Let's take a look.

Menstrual headaches occur before, during, or after your period. The characteristic of the headache is that it starts on one side of the temporal region and quickly spreads to both sides, presenting as a stabbing or distending pain, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Each headache lasts from 30 minutes to two hours, and the headache worsens when the mood is bad. Some patients also have headaches accompanied by irregular menstruation, scanty and dark-colored menstruation, blood clots, pain in the lower abdomen, flanks, and breasts, and warmth.

Although the causes of menstrual headaches are very complicated, there are some effective treatments for menstrual headaches, such as estrogen supplementation, enhancing the absorption of vitamin D and calcium in the body, and appropriate exercise.

Estrogen. You can take estrogen for 3 days before your period under the guidance of a doctor. Supplement nutrition. Calcium and vitamin D: Studies have shown that calcium and vitamin D both have the effect of preventing migraines. You can take 500 to 600 mg of elemental calcium every day. But the best sources of calcium are green leafy vegetables and legumes. If taking vitamin D, the appropriate dose is 5 micrograms per day. Control your diet. Before and after menstruation, you should eat more foods that help relieve hormonal effects, such as milk, fruits, vegetables, oats, oysters, etc.

Drink sweet drinks. Taking a walk outdoors can regulate your mood and relieve stress. Soak your hands in a basin of hot water and apply a hot towel to your head for 30 minutes each time.

During menstruation, women's physical constitution is generally poor, so you must pay attention to rest during this period and don't overwork, especially don't do strenuous exercise in the first two days of menstruation. You must also pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise it is easy to get uterine cold and dysmenorrhea. It is very good to drink more boiled water, and it is best to eat more nutritious food.
