Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can cause a variety of symptoms in the days leading up to a period, including headaches and migraines. Our data from over 4,000 women, has revealed that around 70% of women experience headaches before and during the first few days of the period. Nearly all cyclical headaches will disappear after Advanced Endometrial Ablation!
Premenstrual headaches are those that start in the days just before you begin your period. They may be typical headaches like those you would experience if you were stressed or dehydrated, but often premenstrual headaches come in the form of debilitating migraine attacks.
As many as 40% % of our patients tell us that they have at least two days of severe migraine headaches prior to their periods. All of these cyclical headaches will disappear after Advanced Endometrial Ablation!
The trigger for premenstrual headaches is most likely a neuropeptide toxin emitted from the degenerating endometrium just before the period or during the first day or two. Getting rid of the root cause of the problem, removal of the endometrium, will nearly always stop these cyclical headaches for good!
