What are frequent headaches in women?

Headache is a common symptom of a variety of diseases. Women often have headache may be caused by physiological reasons, or may be caused by diseases such as cold, the specific reasons are as follows: I. Physiological factors 1. Exertion: When women overexert themselves will cause the phenomenon of headache, such as staying up late, overuse of the brain, etc., which will increase the energy consumption of brain cells. In addition, exertion causes the circulation in the brain to slow down, the metabolic rate to decrease, and the oxygen supply to be insufficient, and the combination of the above factors will cause hypoxic headache. Generally, no intervention is needed and it can be relieved after sufficient rest. 2. Emotional changes: When women have negative emotions, it will lead to headache, such as anger leading to excessive congestion of cerebral blood vessels, causing vascular tension headache, and depressed emotions will affect women’s sleep quality, leading to headache. It is recommended that women control their emotions and ensure a good state of mind to alleviate the phenomenon of headache. 3. Physiological state: Before and after menstruation, the serum hormone level in women’s body will drop, causing the intracranial and extracranial blood vessels and uterine blood vessels to be sensitive to certain factors, thus causing vasodilation and leading to the phenomenon of headache in women. 2.

Cerebrovascular diseases: women with cerebrovascular diseases are often accompanied by hypertension, and the headache phenomenon in women may be due to the lack of elasticity of cerebrovascular vessels and the increase of pressure on the blood vessel wall caused by overfilling, which causes neurogenic headache; 4. Intracranial masses: often accompanied by focal occupying lesions, women often show headache phenomenon, accompanied by severe vomiting and other manifestations of intracranial hypertension; 5. Epileptic headache 6.Meningitis: women often have neurological symptoms, in addition to headache, they also have fever, and cerebrospinal fluid is positive for infection; 7.Low cranial pressure syndrome: after lumbar puncture or surgery, women often have headache due to low cranial pressure; 8.Depression: women with depression have neurological symptoms, and women with poor sleep have headache.
