What is the reason for my aunt's headache?

Menstruation is something that all women will experience after adulthood. Menstruation will cause a lot of discomfort to the body. Some people will have stomach pain, some will have headaches, and of course some people will have no problems at all. This is also related to the body. We don’t know why menstruation causes headaches. Next, let’s analyze with everyone what the causes of menstrual headaches are and what are the causes.

First, we need to find out the cause of menstrual headaches, and then provide targeted treatment. If the headaches are caused by liver qi stagnation or qi and blood deficiency in women, the treatment should start with the liver, soothe the liver and relieve depression. Xiaoyao San can be used. Use Bupleurum to soothe the liver and regulate qi, use Angelica and White Peony to nourish and soften the liver, use Atractylodes and Poria to nourish the earth and suppress wood, warming but not dry. If liver depression turns into heat, add some moutan bark and gardenia; if the patient has severe blood stasis, add some salvia miltiorrhiza and motherwort. If the patient also has irregular menstruation, he or she also needs to regulate menstruation. Before your period, estrogen levels drop, which can cause headaches and make you more sensitive to pain.

Headache is a sign of premenstruation, and more than 60% of women will experience headache symptoms before and during menstruation. For women with vascular headaches, it is important to develop good living habits and avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress. About 10 days before menstruation, you should limit your salt and water intake and eat a lighter diet. If the headache is obvious, you can take Chinese medicine for treatment: such as Zhengtian Pills, which can treat neuralgia, tension headaches and premenstrual headaches. Alternatively, taking Xiaoyao Pills and Xiaoyao Granules are very effective in treating this disease.

The treatment of premenstrual headaches is effective only if targeted treatment is carried out based on the patient's cause and combined with the individual's own situation. Menstrual headaches are related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone secretion in women during menstruation. Estrogen and progesterone are the main factors in menstruation and pregnancy, and they also affect chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, which helps control headaches. The level of estrogen in the blood is related to serotonin. During the premenstrual period or menstrual period, the level of estrogen decreases, which can cause headaches.

Women must pay attention to their diet when they have their period. They should not eat spicy food to avoid stomach pain caused by stimulation. They should also not drink cold water or eat cold food, because doing so for a long time will cause cold uterus and will affect their future life. Therefore, they should treat their period correctly and do not think it is no big deal. If they have a headache, they can take some medicine to treat it.
