Menstrual period is the sensitive days of each month for girls, which can easily lead to inflammation and acne. Some girls experience headaches and nausea during their menstrual period. What is the reason for this? We need to identify the cause in a timely manner in order to better prescribe the right medicine, and we must not ignore any physical abnormalities. Let's learn about menstrual headaches together.
Why is menstrual cycle related to headaches? Clinical studies have shown that this may be related to changes in the concentration of estradiol in the serum. Due to the physiological characteristics of women, the concentration of estradiol in serum decreases before and after menstruation, causing intracranial and extracranial blood vessels as well as uterine blood vessels to be more sensitive to certain factors such as serotonin, resulting in changes in vascular tone and causing headaches in some patients who are sensitive to this. Menstrual headaches should not be underestimated. If not treated early, they may cause neurogenic vasospasm and even cause cerebral vascular obstruction. In addition to maintaining good lifestyle habits, traditional Chinese medicine is more effective in treating menstrual headaches. By using traditional Chinese medicine for treating qi stagnation and blood stasis, the patient can recover after 3-6 months of continuous conditioning.
For western medicine treatment, a topical progesterone lotion can be used. A thin layer of progesterone can be applied to the skin every day about 10 days before the onset of menstruation, which can help the human body suppress the violent fluctuations of menstrual hormones; Or three days after the end of the last menstrual period, boil eggs with Angelica sinensis to help women stay away from menstrual headaches.
Sugar can quickly increase the body's blood sugar levels, while drinking water can increase the body's blood volume and improve brain ischemia. So, when in pain, giving yourself a cup of sweet milk or juice can help alleviate migraines caused by cerebral vasodilation and nerve compression.
