What to do when you have a headache during your period

Female menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that occurs every month, but there are various abnormal conditions during women's menstruation, among which headaches are the most typical. Women who already suffer from menstrual damage feel even worse. Therefore, they are very concerned about the causes of menstrual headaches and want to solve this situation. So, what causes menstrual headaches? Let’s take a look at the factors that cause menstrual headaches.

70% of migraines occur around the time of menstruation in women, and nearly three-quarters of migraine sufferers are women. Therefore, there is reason to believe that hormone fluctuations are one of the important reasons for this phenomenon.

Menstrual headaches are related to changes in serum estradiol (a female hormone) concentration. Before and after menstruation, the concentration of estradiol in serum decreases, causing changes in vascular tension and causing headaches in some patients who are sensitive to this. After menstruation, the serum estradiol concentration returns to normal and the patient's headache may be relieved or disappear.

However, menstrual headaches, which are common in clinical practice, are closely related to endocrine disorders. In real life, women will inevitably encounter some unpleasant things or some difficult problems at work. In addition, the intense life and work pressure in modern cities put the brain nerves in a state of tension. Mental fatigue, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, and some women even go without eating for a long time to lose weight. These bad living habits may lead to endocrine disorders and then cause premenstrual syndrome.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, menstrual headaches can be called menstrual headaches. It is caused by long-term bad living habits or emotional instability, which will lead to long-term accumulation of toxins in the body. Toxins enter the blood vessels, causing vasodilation, thus causing headaches.

The above is an introduction to the factors that cause menstrual headaches. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. There are many factors that cause abnormal menstruation in women. It is not only due to problems with their usual diet, but the most important one is endocrine disorders. It is necessary to find the cause and then take effective measures to solve it to prevent abnormal menstruation from causing greater harm to women.
