Headache and eye pain during menstruation may be caused by migraine, high blood pressure, glaucoma and other reasons.
1. Migraine: During menstruation, due to the sudden drop of estrogen level in the body, the blood vessels in the brain are not able to adapt to the sudden change of endocrine hormones, resulting in dysfunction of vasoconstriction and diastole, which may lead to the symptom of headache and eye pain.
2. Hypertension: women who have high blood pressure and whose blood pressure is not stable during menstruation may experience headache and eye pain due to increased intracranial pressure after the blood pressure rises.
3. Glaucoma: patients with glaucoma during menstruation will cause increased intraocular pressure, resulting in damage to the optic nerve and narrowing of the field of vision, and when inflammation of the nerve tissue causes radiating neuralgia, which will manifest the symptoms of headache and eye pain.
