So what is the reason for women's menstrual headaches?

What causes menstrual headaches?

Menstruation is a sign that the female urinary system is normal. If a woman does not have a normal menstrual period, it usually means that there is something wrong with her urinary system. When the menstrual period comes every month, women's body becomes more sensitive. If you do not pay attention to health care during menstruation, women's bodies will often have various problems, such as headaches. So what should I do if I have a headache when washing my hair during menstruation?

1. Soak your feet in ginger water. Foot soaking can promote blood circulation. Ginger water also has the effect of dispelling cold. Women can prepare a large and deep bucket in advance, pour in warm water at about 42°C, the water level can penetrate more than half of the calf, put ginger powder in the water and stir, place the feet at the bottom of the bucket, soak for about 30 minutes, until the body sweats slightly, then wipe the feet and go to bed. This can calm anxious nerves, promote blood circulation, improve sleep quality and avoid headaches.

2. Drink some sweet drinks appropriately. Sugar can quickly increase the blood sugar content of the body, while drinking water can increase the blood flow of the body and improve the ischemia of the head. Therefore, when you are in pain, drinking a glass of sweet milk or fruit juice can help relieve migraines caused by dilation of the cardiovascular system and compression of the nerves.

3. Avoid washing your hair as much as possible. If you want to wash your hair during your menstrual period, it is best to do so in the afternoon. The time for washing your hair should not be too long. After washing your hair, you should dry it with a hair dryer immediately. Don't wash your hair at night. If you wash your hair at night and go to sleep with your hair wet, this may reduce the body's metabolism and immunity.
