What is the reason for a headache one week before and after menstruation?

Patient's question:

4 years ago, I started sweating profusely at night before my period. About a week before and after my period, I had severe headaches, sometimes even feeling like vomiting. Last year, I had an operation for a uterine tumor at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Regarding these symptoms, the doctors at the hospital recommended seeking treatment at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. X-rays showed cervical spondylosis. As the weather got colder, my hands and feet became cold and numb, and the tip of my tongue and my lips also felt numb.

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by dysmenorrhea. You need to go to the hospital for hormone 6 tests and an ultrasound examination. Pain-relieving medication should be taken orally, such as 654-2, belladonna tablets, etc. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods. Pay attention to local hygiene to prevent cross-infection. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a routine examination, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
