Headache affects about 30 million people in Brazil, and women suffer the most, 20% of them suffer from this problem, compared to only 6% of men. Experts explain that the reason for the difference lies in the hormonal balance of the woman.
Obstetrician-gynecologist Anna Carla Freitas told Uol that in the first phase of the menstrual cycle, estrogen is low, “and as the follicle grows, this hormone reaches its peak and ovulation occurs. In the next phase, the progesterone will work and prepare the uterus for implantation of the fertilized egg. This Hormonal changes seem to favor headaches,” he explained.
Although this factor is recognized, the causes of headaches are not limited to this. Many people think that it is normal to live with a headache, which is not true. When pain appears more than three times a month for three months, or always during menstruation, you should see a doctor.
