What are the causes of female headache
1. Menstrual cycle
It is mainly due to the change of estradiol concentration in serum. Before menstruation, the concentration of estradiol is low, the sensitivity of blood vessels inside and outside the skull and uterus is increased, and the tension of blood vessels is changed, leading to headache. After menstruation, estradiol concentration was normal, headache relieved.
Another possibility is prostaglandins. Estrogen (including estradiol) stimulates the secretion of prolactin, and then stimulates the secretion of prostaglandin, which acts on blood vessels, leading to vasoconstriction and dilation, thus causing headache.
2. Weather
Changes in meteorological conditions such as air pressure, temperature, humidity and so on can cause changes in brain chemicals and currents, which can stimulate nerves and lead to headaches.
3. Earrings, headscarves and ponytails
Too tight ponytail, too tight hat, headscarf, and too heavy earrings can lead to head and neck muscles leading to headache.
4, perfume
Irritating taste can stimulate the nervous system and cause headaches.
5, hunger
Hypoglycemia stimulates neural pathways, leading to headaches.
