What is menstrual headache

A menstrual headache is a headache that occurs during or around the time of menstruation because of the disruption of hormone secretion in the body during menstruation, which leads to spasms and constriction of blood vessels inside and outside the skull, which may result in a headache. This is a normal physical reaction and usually disappears after menstruation. Many women experience this symptom before and after menstruation, and it may be accompanied by dizziness, weakness of qi and blood, tingling in the head, etc. Some women may also experience nausea and vomiting when the headache is severe. If there are no other obvious symptoms, there is no need for treatment, just pay more attention to rest and relax your body. However, if the headache is severe and directly affects your daily life, you need to see a neurologist to rule out intracranial organic diseases.
