Does menstruation cause headaches

Some women have headaches during menstruation, also known as migraines, which are related to changes in hormone levels and the release of prostaglandins during menstruation, as well as to vascular spasms and lack of blood supply to the brain, and are also a type of neurological headache. This kind of headache is usually regular, appearing during menstruation and improving significantly after the menstruation clears, and there are no such symptoms in normal times. Therefore, for this kind of headache during menstruation, the main thing is to pay attention to rest, to get enough sleep, not to stay up late, and not to overexert yourself. In case of recurrent headaches, it is recommended to have a cerebrovascular examination or cranial CT to rule out other problems of the head.
