Female headache on left side

Headache is a symptom that often occurs in the body. There are many reasons for headache, and the symptoms of headache for each person are different. Some headaches cannot even be found at all. Sometimes people suddenly feel a migraine. There are many reasons for migraine, some of which are caused by nerves, and some are caused by contraction of head muscles. Let’s actually understand what causes women’s left-sided migraine?

1) Telangiectasia: Extracranial aortic dilatation is most commonly seen in migraine and frontal arteritis. In acute brain inflammation, bacteria and toxins can cause telangiectatic headaches; metabolic diseases, toxic symptoms, brain trauma, epilepsy, hypertensive brain disease, and excessive use of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular dilation drugs can all cause telangiectatic headaches.

2) Blood vessels are pulled, compressed or flexed and moved: Intracranial space-occupying diseases; increased intracranial pressure caused by acute meningitis and encephalitis, toxic encephalopathy, cerebral edema, hydrocephalus, venous sinus thrombosis, compression and blockage of brain tumors or cysticercosis leading to obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid circulation; also headaches caused by increased brain tissue discharge after lumbar puncture or spinal anesthesia, resulting in increased intracranial pressure and dilation of the cerebral venous sinuses and veins.

3) Headache caused by excessive tension on the meninges: acute inflammatory exudates in the brain (such as peritonitis, etc.), or blood from exudative diseases (such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc.) irritate the meninges, or cerebral edema causes the meninges and blood vessels to stretch and cause headaches.

4) Nerve irritation: Inflammation, compression, and movement of the central nervous system (such as the trigeminal nerve), cervical nerves can all cause relative neuralgia.

5) Headaches caused by spasm and contraction of head and neck muscles: Neck diseases such as tension, inflammation, local lumps, diffuse cysts and other neck diseases reflexively cause spasm and long-term contraction of the neck muscles, causing headaches. For example, headaches caused by cervical spondylosis are also known as muscle contraction headaches.

6) Radioactive substances in the human organs around the head or referred headaches: They are often seen in the eyes, ears, nose, nasal polyps, front teeth, etc., which can spread outward or reflect to the head and cause headaches.

7) Other causes: Psychogenic headaches are common, which are headaches caused mainly by mental or psychological factors, such as common neurotic headaches, hysteria or depression, etc. There are also some such as "goggle headaches", good cough headaches, cold stimulation headaches and "sexual headaches" related to sexual activity.
