Why do I have migraines before menstruation, and what is a migraine headache before menstruation?

Considering the occurrence of premenstrual syndrome, headaches and other symptoms caused by sympathetic nervous system stimulation caused by autonomic nervous system dysfunction should first of all pay attention to actively regulate their endocrine function, maintain a comfortable mood and emotional stability, and release inner pressure.

Some women have a pulsatile headache before menstruation, which begins above the left or right eye, and also starts from the back of the head, and then extends to the whole side of the head, feeling like a worm crawling in the brain, and like the head is about to **, especially the headache of irregular menstruation is more painful and unbearable, so what are the causes of migraine before menstruation? Below we take a closer look at this issue.

1. Headache caused by stagnation of liver qi and deficiency of qi and blood.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most of the headaches before menstruation are caused by stagnation of liver qi and deficiency of qi and blood. If the liver qi is uncomfortable, the qi is stagnant and the blood stagnates, resulting in less menstrual flow and even menstruation can not be discharged as time, and the menstrual qi is stagnant. Therefore, the sutras disturb the clear mind, and headaches occur.

2. Vascular headache.

Some women have a vascular headache before menstruation, because there is a female hormone called primordial follicle, which can regulate the tension of blood vessels, and the secretion of female hormones decreases sharply during menstruation, resulting in unstable state of female blood vessels, so it causes headaches.

2. Headache caused by the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone.

When the level of estrogen in a woman's blood decreases to a certain level, it can also cause headaches, and the level of estrogen will fluctuate with the changes in the menstrual cycle, so it causes many women to have periodic headaches.

In the case of migraine before menstruation, it is still necessary to consider whether it is caused by premenstrual tension syndrome, which is mostly caused by autonomic nerve dysfunction, migraine before menstruation, nausea and vomiting, or the occurrence of dysmenorrhea that affects the entire menstrual cycle, in this case, it is also necessary to rule out whether the symptoms of sore throat are caused by increased blood pressure such as cervical spondylosis, and oral medication can be carried out after the diagnosis is ruled out**.

Premenstrual migraines may be a long-term lack of sleep, and if this happens frequently, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Premenstrual headaches may be caused by endocrine hormonal changes causing vascular neuropathic pain. You can do a blood routine to make it clear that you usually need enough sleep and avoid staying up late.

Migraines in women before menstruation are thought to be caused by estrogen changes in the body and abnormal constriction and dilation of blood vessels in the head. It may also be caused by recent work pressure, long-term mental tension, and lack of sufficient sleep time.

The shedding of the endometrium during menstruation will release prostaglandins, which will constrict blood vessels and cause spasms while contracting the smooth muscle of the uterus.

It may be that before menstruation, the estrogen secreted by the ovaries will reach a high level, so under the influence of high levels of estrogen, it may cause an increase in water and sodium retention in the body, which will indirectly lead to intracranial edema and cause a slight increase in intracranial pressure, so women will have migraine symptoms, and often need to consider taking traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine for relief, such as taking Xiaoyao Pill and Yuanhu Pain Relief Pill. If a woman suddenly has a migraine before menstruation, it may be caused by abnormal blood supply to the brain, abnormal blood pressure or cervical spine disease, or even migraine caused by a cold or cold, so if a migraine occurs, it is best to see a doctor in time, according to the **symptom**.
