Monthly cycle and headaches?!


Question: Monthly cycle and headaches!?
Just wondering if anyone gets headaches in association with their monthly cycle!? If so, at what point!? Right after you get you period, mid cycle or right before you get your period!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There is a higher risk of migraine and/or tension headache in the two days before menstruation begins!.

For approximately three months, in a recent study, 81 women with clinically diagnosed migraine were asked to keep detailed diaries of their headaches!. Participants were also asked to record pain features, symptoms and their disability such as days missed at work or reduced productivity!.

The results showed 28 percent of migraine without aura, the type of migraine most often associated with menstruation, took place in the four days surrounding the beginning of menstruation!. There was also a greater chance of tension-type headache!. However, there was no increase in migraine with aura or any evidence to support the idea that migraines during menstruation are more painful or more severe!.

Previous studies have looked at the relationship between migraine and menstruation in patients at headache clinics!. Migraine develops most often around adolescence, and researchers have looked at its relationship with the cyclic changes in female sex hormones!. Research has shown that the primary trigger for migraine during menstruation may be the withdrawal of estrogen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
