Hello, dizziness during menstruation in women may be caused by excessive menstrual bleeding leading to chronic blood loss and subsequent anemia. Alternatively, it may result from hormonal fluctuations associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). If dizziness persists for an extended period, it is advisable to seek prompt medical evaluation at a hospital. Diagnostic tests—including a complete blood count (CBC), hormonal assays, and, if necessary, blood pressure measurement and cranial CT imaging—may be performed to identify the underlying cause and rule out disorders affecting other organ systems. Appropriate treatment can then be initiated based on the diagnostic findings. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
