Patient's question:
Female, 18 years old, I currently have irregular menstruation, with very little flow and incorrect color, and it's not on time. This situation has persisted for a long time. Please ask: How to regulate headaches during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is considered menstrual headache. Western medicine believes it is a vascular or neuralgia-related headache, while traditional Chinese medicine believes it is due to blood heat. During menstruation, the blood heat attacks upwards, causing a headache. Hmm, once a day, after the acupuncture session, the needles are left in for 30 to 40 minutes. In terms of diet, just be mindful to avoid certain foods—don’t eat spicy, greasy, fried, or stomach-upsetting foods. Besides that, avoid overtime to relieve the headache. If you want to go for acupuncture, it is recommended to visit the acupuncture department. Acupuncture combined with herbal medicine can regulate your constitution and has a good effect. Daily, maintain a regular sleep schedule, ensure warmth and avoid cold exposure, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
