Abstract

Headache, an almost universal human experience, is one of the most common ailments encountered in medicine. Headaches occur as much as three times more often in women than in men, much of which is related to premenstrual syndrome. The most common causes of headaches include: fatigue, strong emotional stress, problems with cerebral circulation, hormonal fluctuations, disturbed metabolism and vascular abnormalities. Uncharacteristic headaches may appear as a consequence of a particular lifestyle (e.g. smoking, alcohol abuse) or genetic factors. Recurrent headaches are most often associated with migraine. However, in the practice of a family doctor and in gynecological practice, it is worth remembering that these troublesome ailments can also be caused by dental or laryngological problems. Each recurring headache requires extended diagnostics, including neuroimaging, including magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT), but diagnostics and consultations: dental or laryngological are also important.
