What reason is girl headache?

Female migraine often occurs during ovulation or before menstruation, and the estrogen content in women during this period is much higher than usual. According to this, experts speculate that female migraine is closely related to the neurochemical effect of estrogen. Further research confirmed that the original surge of estrogen content in the body will produce a large number of neurochemical substances called "serum base". Serum base can effectively stimulate the brain nerve, leading to irritability, emotional excitement, resulting in migraine.

There are two other causes of female migraine: one is that a large number of prostaglandins are released in the blood of women with migraine before and after menstruation, which can relax smooth muscle, expand blood vessels, and make the relaxation and contraction function of blood vessels disordered; The other is called endorphin, which is induced by the "serum base", resulting in the decrease of endorphin secretion in the human body, and the effect of endorphin is exactly analgesic and has anesthetic like effect.

Female migraine is associated with the fluctuation of estrogen and progesterone levels In the comparison between migraine women and non migraine women, researchers found that 63% of migraine women had menstrual cycle disorder, and only 47% of non migraine women had menstrual cycle disorder; Among the women with ovarian cyst, 40% had migraine, and only 18% had no migraine. About 41% of women with migraine had a history of hysterectomy, while only 27% of women without migraine had a history of hysterectomy; 42% of patients had migraine easily induced by dysmenorrhea or premenstrual tension; Only 20% did not have migraine.
