Patient's question:
During menstruation, the symptoms worsen, and they do not improve even after the period ends. It has been going on for oil-7 years. The main pain is in the temples, and during severe episodes, there is a sense of nausea.Doctor's answer:
Menstrual headaches are related to changes in the concentration of estradiol (a female hormone) in the serum. Before and after menstruation, the concentration of estradiol in the serum decreases, leading to changes in blood vessel tension, which causes headaches in some sensitive patients. After menstruation, the concentration of estradiol in the serum returns to normal, and the patient's headache may alleviate or disappear.
