Important things to know:
- Most people experience headaches at some point in their life.
- The majority of headaches are not caused by a serious medical problem.

What are headaches?
The brain itself doesn’t feel pain. Though the brain has billions of neurons (cells that transmit sensory and other information), it has no pain receptors. The ache from a headache comes from other nerves – inside blood vessels in your head, for example – telling your brain something is wrong.
Headache causes
Headaches can have many causes, including injury or an underlying illness. But the vast majority are primary headaches, meaning the headache is the only medical issue. For these, the most common causes include:
- Medication overuse (taking more than 10 doses of headache medication a month has been found to cause headaches)
- Drinking alcohol
- Skipping meals
- Dehydration
- Stress and anxiety
- Lack of sleep
Headache triggers: Some causes are referred to as triggers. Some patients track their triggers so they can avoid them and ward off headaches.

Menstrual pain occurs in lower abdomen during menstruation and may also be felt in hips, lower back, or thighs. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lightheadedness, headache, or fatigue.
What causes menstrual pain?
Menstrual pain is thought to be caused by excessive levels of prostaglandins, hormones that make your contract during menstruation and childbirth. The pain results from the release of these hormones when the lining (endometrium) is sloughing off during a menstrual period. This leads to uterus contraction and decreased blood flow to the uterus.
Factors that can make menstrual pain worse: lack of exercise, retroverted uterus (uterus that tilts backwards); longer, heavier, or irregular periods; psychological or social stress; smoking; drinking alcohol, being overweight; a family history of menstrual pain; starting menstruating before age 12.
