Contractions
Menstrual cramps are one of the causes of dizziness during menstruation. In addition, menstrual cramps also cause menstrual-related abdominal pain. In severe cases, the pain and dizziness that occur during this period make many women extremely uncomfortable during their period.
Anemia
Iron deficiency anemia is a common condition during menstruation that prevents the body from producing and maintaining healthy red blood cells. Heavy menstrual bleeding can contribute to anemia and make you feel lightheaded.
Menstrual-related migraines
According to statistics, due to hormonal changes, about 60% of women are affected by migraines during their menstrual period. Fluctuating estrogen levels can cause migraines accompanied by dizziness.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder disrupts the daily lives of many women. It can also be a reason for you to feel dizzy and need professional medical help.
Low blood pressure
Low blood pressure is one of the most common reasons for dizziness and a drop in blood pressure during menstruation. According to a study published in the Journal of Molecular Endocrinology and Clinical Research, sex hormones regulate your blood pressure, causing feelings of lightheadedness and dizziness.
