Is it normal to have headaches during menstruation?

Menstrual headaches are generally normal. If the patient has other discomfort symptoms before menstruation, they should consult

Menstruation is accompanied by cyclical changes in the ovaries in the body, which leads to periodic shedding and bleeding of the endometrium, and is a sign of the initial maturity of puberty. When menstruation occurs, the estrogen, sex hormones, progesterone and luteinizing hormone secreted by the endocrine system in the body will change, resulting in abnormal hormone levels secreted by these substances, which indirectly stimulate the female nervous system. Some women experience great mental stress when menstruation comes, and often experience tension, anxiety, insomnia and other phenomena, which can lead to dysfunction of the nervous system, resulting in headaches when women menstruate. This phenomenon is generally normal and does not require special treatment.

In daily life, women should adjust their emotions before and after menstruation. If they have mood swings, they should communicate with family or friends in time, pay more attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, pay more attention to keeping the abdomen and head warm, eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits such as apples, oranges, carrots, etc. They should also eat more protein foods such as beef, eggs, chicken, etc., and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods such as chili, garlic, and pepper to avoid affecting their health.
