What causes headaches and nausea during menstruation?

Every girl is a little princess in her parents' eyes. As they grow older, these little princesses face various problems, such as premature love, fighting, physical illness and so on. Especially the secret of girls' menstruation is what all girls are most reluctant to share with others. Some girls will experience stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, headache and nausea during menstruation. So what is the reason why these girls suffer from headaches and nausea during menstruation? Let me explain it to you below.

Clinical studies have shown that this may be related to changes in serum estrogen (a female hormone) concentrations. Due to the physiological characteristics of women, the concentration of estradiol in serum decreases before and after menstruation, causing intracranial and extracranial blood vessels and uterine blood vessels to be more sensitive to certain factors such as serotonin and other substances, thereby causing changes in vascular tension and causing headaches in some patients who are sensitive to this. After menstruation, the concentration of estradiol in serum returns to normal and the patient's headaches can also be relieved. There is another possibility that estrogen (including estradiol) can stimulate the secretion of prolactin, thereby directly or indirectly stimulating the secretion of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins act on blood vessels, causing vascular contraction and dilation. This change also shows cyclical changes due to the influence of estrogen, thereby triggering headache attacks.

70% of migraines occur around the time of menstruation in women, and nearly three-quarters of migraine sufferers are women. Therefore, there is reason to believe that hormone fluctuations are one of the important reasons for this phenomenon. Menstrual headaches are related to changes in serum estradiol (a female hormone) concentration. Before and after menstruation, the concentration of estradiol in serum decreases, causing changes in vascular tension and causing headaches in some patients who are sensitive to this. After menstruation, the serum estradiol concentration returns to normal and the patient's headache may be relieved or disappear.

However, menstrual headaches, which are common in clinical practice, are closely related to endocrine disorders. In real life, women will inevitably encounter some unpleasant things or some difficult problems at work. In addition, the intense life and work pressure in modern cities put the brain nerves in a state of tension. Mental fatigue, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, and some women even go without eating for a long time to lose weight. These bad living habits may lead to endocrine disorders and then cause premenstrual syndrome.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, menstrual headaches can be called menstrual headaches. It is caused by long-term bad living habits or emotional instability, which will lead to long-term accumulation of toxins in the body. Toxins enter the blood vessels, causing vasodilation, thus causing headaches.

To sum up the above content, girls must pay attention to maintenance, because this is not only related to the present, but also to your future. Therefore, maintain a good mood every day. This will not only relieve the symptoms of headaches and nausea during menstruation, but also help with skin maintenance, so that you can stay young forever, keep diseases away from you, and be a happy goddess.
