The stresses of modern urban life and work have caused some career-minded women to suffer from menstrual migraines. Studies have found that migraines tend to occur in the period between puberty and menopause, and that women are more than three times more likely to have migraines than men. Ms. Liu, 35, works hard as a department manager in a company. A few months ago, she developed headaches, which disappeared on their own after a few moments of rest each time. Later, she found a pattern that the headaches almost always came around the time of her menstruation, so she went to the hospital and was diagnosed with menstrual migraine. Menstrual migraine is a very torturous symptom that is usually confined to one side of the head, but it can also occur on both sides at the same time. Menstrual migraines in women usually occur once a month, usually around the onset of menstruation. The attacks can last for a few hours or a few days. If the migraine is a generalized menstrual migraine, there is little to no warning before the onset of the attack, which begins as a throbbing headache, usually originating from the left eye or the top of the right eye, or it may start at the back of the head and then extend to the whole side of the head. More severe migraines are often preceded by aura such as visual confusion, weakness, and incoherent speech. Migraine attacks are usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, irritation and paralysis of the extremities, and can last up to 10 hours or more. Experts point out that there are many causes of menstrual migraine, mainly food allergies, mental and psychological factors, etc. In modern society, the stressful life and work pressure are also important triggers for some career-minded women to suffer from menstrual migraine. In daily life, there are some foods that can trigger migraine, and even some foods can cause changes in the blood vessels or nerves in the body of migraineurs, such as cheese, yogurt, chocolate, whole milk, goat milk and meat and fruits, wheat and beverages. If you have migraine symptoms, you should go to the hospital promptly so that you don’t lose time.
