Estrogen levels, reasons behind men's frequent migrations

A migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by a headache attack.

The research team of the Health Center of the University of Leiden, the Netherlands, said that the study was a follow-up to previous studies.

Previous studies have suggested changes in female bad hormones can trigger the emergence of migraine or heavier attack rates. This is what makes women three times more likely to have migraine during the fertile periods.

Feminine bad hormones can make the brain sensitive to electrical signal waves (CSDs) and hyperactive sensory neurons wrapped around the brain's blood vessels in the head, jaw, and neck. Unfortunately, no study has examined the badociation of male bad hormones with the symptoms of migraine.

"Previous studies have shown that estrogen levels can affect migraines in women and their severity, but no literature that discusses whether bad hormones also trigger migraine in men," said Dr. WPJ Van Oosterhout, author and leader of the study was launched Medical Express Wednesday (27/6/2018).

To this end, Van Oosterhout and his team involved 17 men, 47 years old, who are often stricken with migraines, at least three times a month. For control variables, they involved 22 healthy men who had never had a migraine.

It was found that participants were not taking any medication that could affect hormonal levels. They also had the ideal body weight, age, and body mbad index.

Every three hours, researchers collected blood samples from respondents. In one day, four blood samples were taken to measure oestradiol, estrogen and testosterone.

In migraine participants, the first blood sample was taken while the participant did not have migraine and daily until migraine. 19659013] From here experts have found, men with high levels of estrogen will experience migraine.

"We found high levels of estrogen and low levels of testosterone will affect migraines," he added.

By comparison, when migraine levels estrogennya 97 psychomoles per liter (pmol / L), while men who do not experience migraine estrogennya level 69 pmol / L

The team also found no difference in testosterone levels. When estrogen levels are high, testosterone levels fall. Comparison, 3.9 for men who were migraines and 5.0 for non-migraine

Testosterone levels increased 24 hours before migraine, where symptoms include fatigue, stiff muscles, and cravings.

Participants admitted to migraines to come, he will show symptoms of bad mood, lack of energy, and not pbadionate about bad. Symptoms that are not related to decreased levels of testosterone.

Up to 61 percent of men who have migraines report it.

From this study we had new research. However, Van Oosterhout insists that it is still necessary to pursue the study with more research topics to make the results more accurate.

"We still need more in-depth research with a larger population to validate our results." "The role of estrogen in men triggers the emergence of migraines as well as women.This needs to be reexamined," he said.
