Patient's question:
I am a college student, female, only 21 years old. I am always worried about irregular menstruation affecting future fertility, and I feel embarrassed going to the hospital. Could you please answer: What causes headaches during each menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms that reappear before the menstrual period, including headaches, are normal physiological phenomena. They may be related to changes in hormone levels in the serum, leading to fluctuations in blood vessel tension, which can trigger headaches in sensitive individuals. It is important to ensure adequate deep sleep, avoid overtime work and excessive stress, maintain a calm mood, reduce mental tension and psychological pressure, pay attention to keeping warm to prevent colds, and gently massage or stroke the head daily. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
