Why do I have a headache when I have my period?

Girls should avoid missing their menstrual period every month. It is worth mentioning that when menstruation comes, many girls may experience some discomfort symptoms, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension, etc. Some girls may also experience insomnia, headaches, etc., which have a certain impact on their daily life and work, and they need to take the initiative to take care of themselves. So, what is the cause of menstrual headaches?

1. Endocrine factors

Menstrual headaches are associated with changes in the concentration of estradiol (a female hormone) in blood cells. Before and after menstruation, the concentration of estradiol in blood cells decreases, which causes changes in vascular support and causes headaches in some patients who are sensitive to this. After menstruation, the estradiol concentration in blood cells returns to normal, and the patient's headaches may also be alleviated or disappear.

2. Foods that cause skin allergies

In daily life, some foods can cause headaches for those with poor immunity during menstruation, and some foods can even cause changes in the blood vessels or nerves of those with headaches. For example, chocolate is not only easy to make you fat, it also contains chemin, which is the main abnormal substance that causes migraines. Some drinks and additives may also cause menstrual migraines, including non-alcoholic drinks such as various high-concentration liquors and red wines.

3. Psychological Pressure

Women are bound to encounter some unpleasant things or some complicated problems at work, coupled with the anxious life and pressure in today's big cities, which make the brain nerves under excessive tension. Sometimes they are depressed, extremely tired and lack of exercise, sleep too long, have irregular life, sometimes do not eat for a long time, and sometimes eat whole food, which causes menstrual headaches.

In addition, computer radiation can also cause headaches for women during their menstrual period. Some people who work in front of a computer are prone to menstrual headaches because they are exposed to electromagnetic radiation. In addition, factors such as LCD screens, spotlights, and strong sunlight can cause eye fatigue and cause headaches.
