Man and migraine

Current of a migraine at a strong half of mankind has the features. At men physiological cyclicity is expressed much to a lesser degree, than at women. Also hormonal aspects have smaller value. However not a secret, that men are more subject to stresses, overloads and influence of a lot of adverse factors of an environment. Smoking, alcohol concern to them, no fixed a labour load.

Data of some researches speak that the migraine at men meets much less often, than at women. However current of a migraine at men more aggressive. Attacks as a rule happen less often, than at women, but proceed more dramatically and risk of occurrence of complications also a little bit above. The leading factor of presence of a migraine at the man is the heredity. Very much often a migraine both suffer the parent. Current of many diseases in our century of rates differs such feature, that in following generation hereditary disease flows more hardly, than in previous. This rule concerns and to a migraine and has a greater expression at men.

Exact diagnostics of a migraine is very important. Often migrain attack proceeds at men atypically. Quite often usual skewness the painful center отсутсnвует. The pain is localized not on the one hand as in the classical description, and it can be localized in frontal area, occipitoparietal or at once extends on all head. However other obligatory attributes of a migraine are saved constant. To them concern a pulsation hurt, presence of a nausea, greater duration and an inefficiency of reception of usual analgetics.

At men quite often presence of other kind of headaches. These headaches never meet at women, are characterized by attacks intolerable on intensity and proceed basically at night. As the attack arises suddenly, some tens seconds last and then disappear, renewing in some minutes, researchers have described it as a cluster headache. This kind of headaches has a little bit other nature and other preventive treatment. Therefore at such kind of headaches consultation of the skilled expert is necessary.

It is necessary to give special value to complications migrain attack. Quite often because of changes of a cerebral circulation during an attack memory worsens, there is a mental fatigability more quickly, the absent-mindedness of attention is marked. In 5 % of cases of a cerebral insult he was preceded fixing with an attack of a migraine.

All this speaks that the migraine at men requires special attention and obligatory treatment.

Application of usual analgetics quickly enough shows the inefficiency during current of a man's migraine. Therefore, as shows an expert, men often tend to simply to endure a pain as an inevitable harm, overcoming a pain, despite of its intensifying at mental and an exercise stress. It leads to enormous power and metabolic expenses.

Practical job has shown efficiency of some preparations in treatment of a man's migraine. But in one case efficiency and rate of offensive of effect was not so strongly pronounced, as in case of application Zomig, a specialized preparation for treatment of attacks of a migraine. Action of this preparation at men comes a little bit more quickly, than at women.

Specialized treatment of a migraine at men very important as presence of a migraine raises risk of vascular cerebral accidents. Except for application of preparation Zomig for putting off of attacks, application of preventive treatment, carrying out of a psychotherapy, a relaxation, autogenic training is shown.
