What causes headaches every time you have your period

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What could be causing the headaches every time I have my period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, menstrual headaches are mainly caused by issues related to physical constitution or factors such as cerebral blood vessel spasm. Ibuprofen or Yang Xue Qing Nao Granules, Danshen Tablets can be used for treatment. Regarding your condition, it may be gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as alkaline reflux gastritis. This refers to a syndrome characterized by symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, vomiting bile, bloating, and weight loss, caused by bile reflux into the stomach. It is recommended to use triple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, while also adding medications to promote gastric motility.
