What causes headaches during menstruation?

Headache is a common symptom in real life. Many diseases cause headaches. Many women will experience headaches during menstruation, and most of them are migraines, but they don’t know what causes it, so they don’t know how to solve and treat it. Regarding this situation, let's explain the causes of menstrual headaches in detail below:

1. Clinical medicine has found that 70% of women's headaches occur around the menstrual period, and women account for nearly 3/4 of all headache patients. Based on these factors, it is believed that fluctuations in female hormones are one of the main causes of women's headaches. The occurrence of headaches during menstruation is mainly related to the changes in the estradiol content in blood cells. Under normal circumstances, the estradiol content in a woman's body decreases before and after menstruation, which causes changes in the blood vessel support capacity of the body. Some women are more sensitive to this change and will experience pain symptoms. After the menstrual period ends, the estradiol content in the blood cells will gradually return to normal, so the symptoms of headache will also spontaneously alleviate and disappear.

2. In addition to normal physiological changes that cause a decrease in estradiol in blood cells and cause menstrual headaches in women, endocrine disorders caused by adverse factors are also a factor closely related to menstrual headache symptoms. Modern women generally experience great stress. For example, they will inevitably encounter some frustrations and unsatisfactory things at work, study, or in daily life. If they are not dealt with promptly and in a reasonable way, it will cause the brain nerves to be in a state of anxiety and excessive tension, which will affect endocrine function in severe cases. Secondly, unscientific diet, insufficient exercise and poor rest may cause endocrine disorders and lead to premenstrual syndrome, which in turn leads to menstrual headaches.

This is the introduction to the causes of menstrual headaches. I believe that after reading this, you will have a better understanding of the knowledge in this area. Finally, I would like to remind women who have menstrual headaches that they must correct their unhealthy lifestyles, eat more nutritious and light dishes, and especially relax their mental state and maintain a happy mood, so as to better avoid the troubles of menstrual headaches.
