Is it \u201cnormal\u201d to have premenstrual headaches? This may be related to changes in female hormone secretion during menstruation, which is one of the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (Premenstrual Syndrome). Medically, the cause of this disease is unknown, but it is generally believed to be caused by abnormalities in brain hormones and neurotransmitters. Most patients feel headache intermittently about one week before menstruation, but symptoms will gradually disappear after menstruation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the pain is concentrated on one side when the headache occurs, and the feeling is strong, beating like a pulse, accompanied by fear of light, noise, and discomfort, it may be a migraine. Women are more likely to suffer from migraine than men. One of the reasons is that the menstrual cycle affects the secretion of serotonin, which causes the blood vessels in the brain to dilate and compresses the surrounding nerves. In addition, factors such as family inheritance, emotional stress, lack of sleep, environmental noise, flashing lights, and strong odors can also stimulate and aggravate headaches. If the symptoms are mild, you can generally relieve them with painkillers, and adjust your life rhythm, such as regular work and rest schedules, proper relaxation and scalp massage, to reduce the number of headache attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it should be noted that headaches in women are not necessarily caused by hormones. People are more worried about "secondary headaches" caused by other diseases in the body. This type of headache cannot be relieved by reliable drugs and improved living habits. In severe cases, it may be a harbinger of serious diseases such as cervical spondylosis, high blood pressure, cerebrovascular diseases (such as stroke), meningitis, or even brain tumors. Due to the complex causes of secondary headaches, the doctor will first ask the patient to understand the patient's symptoms and preliminary examination, and then recommend whether to undergo other targeted tests, such as computer scan (CT scan) and magnetic resonance (MRI) brain scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If headaches occur frequently, it is better to adjust the pace of work first, get rid of electronic products in a timely manner, and let yourself rest physically and mentally. If the condition does not show signs of improvement, it is advisable to seek medical advice as soon as possible, and then the doctor will diagnose the cause and provide corresponding treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
