Patient's question:
Menstrual headache, dizziness, stomach pain, fatigue.Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of menstrual headaches. In women, menstrual headaches are primarily due to endocrine disorders, ovulation disorders, endometrial ectopia or inflammation, and fall under the category of "headache during menstruation" in traditional Chinese medicine. The causes can be attributed to qi and blood deficiency, yin deficiency with internal heat, hyperactivity of liver yang, and qi stagnation with blood stasis. Based on clinical manifestations, appropriate over-the-counter traditional Chinese medicine can be selected for treatment, often yielding good results.
