What are the reasons for headaches during menstruation?

Nowadays, many women experience some symptoms during their periods, which seriously affect their daily life and work. However, many women do not take this matter seriously, and think it is caused by the different physical fitness of each person. Actually, no, this symptom is completely abnormal. So what causes women to have menstrual headaches?

What causes menstrual headaches?

1. Liver fire. Female friends have more liver fire, because the mood is unstable during menstruation, which causes internal injuries. When the liver fire accumulated in the body collides directly and cannot adjust the mood, it is easy to turn into fire. During the menstrual period, the accumulated blood rushes out and causes liver fire to rise, which finally causes headaches.

2. Blood stasis. Before the menstrual period, the body's blood is uncomfortable, resulting in blood stasis. When the blood accumulates to deal with the menstrual period, the mutual action will cause the accumulated blood to flow back to the head, causing multiple blockages in the head and causing headaches.

3. Deficiency of both Qi and blood. Many female friends have the problem of insufficient qi and blood, and the lack of qi and blood affects the normal menstrual flow of the human body. At this time, the body's yin blood will also be significantly insufficient, and finally go up to the head to cause headaches.

The main harm caused by menstrual headaches is that it affects work and daily life. Because of headaches, many people cannot concentrate on work, study or daily life. The problem of headaches on the head will also make one's mood more restless, and the relationship between excessive anxiety will further aggravate the condition, causing the symptoms to become more serious.
