Why do I get a headache every time I have my period?

Women's menarche occurs with the fluctuation of female hormones. Fluctuations in female hormones can cause changes in the body's blood system. For example, capillaries may dilate before and after menstruation, and there may be central nervous system manifestations such as headaches and dizziness. The more severe headaches in the early stages of menstruation are vascular headaches. If it occurs frequently, it is an abnormality. If the pain level is extremely severe, it is recommended to go to the neurology department for further examination.

Some women also have cerebral vascular malformations or high blood pressure. As female hormones change before and after menstruation, vascular changes may aggravate clinical symptoms. Repeated menstrual pain may cause more serious harm and even lead to bleeding.

If you have severe headaches before and after each menstrual period, it is best to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department or neurology department to rule out cerebrovascular disease. If it is a physiological process, it may gradually disappear with age and the passage of time. If the symptoms gradually worsen, it indicates the possibility of cardiovascular disease.

Every time you have your period, you will experience symptoms such as headaches. This is because the changes in estrogen metabolism cause blood vessels to dilate, causing headache pain. If the pain is severe, you can take ibuprofen to relieve it. It is best to keep warm during the menstrual period, avoid catching a cold, avoid washing your hair and face with cold water, and eat less irritating foods. Headaches can be treated through traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, acupuncture therapy, massage, hot compress, moxa and other methods. You can also take tranquilizing brain nourishing liquid or Zhengtian pills to treat headaches. You also need to have a good emotional and mental state.

During the menstrual period, due to the influence of female hormones and mentality, people's resistance will be reduced, so they are more likely to catch a cold. Therefore, you should keep warm during the menstrual period, get enough rest, avoid catching a cold, maintain a good mood, supplement with adequate vitamins, minerals and high-quality protein, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. If the symptoms of a cold are severe, you can take antiviral drugs such as Qingkailing for treatment and drink plenty of water. You should also increase physical exercise, promote growth and development, enhance immunity, and improve your resistance to diseases.
