Çalışmaya alınanbireylerden 129 tanesi (%42,2’si) gebeliği boyuncahiç baş ağrısı yaşamamıştı. Yüz yetmiş yediannenin (%57,8) hamilelikte primer baş ağrısınailişkin yakınmaları olmuştu.

Primer Headaches And Over The Counter Use Of Painkillers In Pregnancy

Aim: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the characteristics of primary headaches during pregnancy, and the frequency of over the counter drug use by pregnant woman due to headache. Material and Methods: Third hundred and fifty women in the first three months of postpartum period were interviewed by a neurologist related to the headaches they have experienced during pregnancy, and their headache characteristics and their preferences in terms of prescription or over the counter drug use were examined. Results: Forty four of the 350 mothers were excluded from the study for various reasons. One hundred and twenty nine (42.2%) of the study participants expressed that they had not experienced any headaches. One hundred and seventy seven (57.8%) of them complained from primary headaches during their pregnancy. Forty four (24.8%) of headache sufferers sought medical advice from a medical doctor. While 83 (46.6%) of whom used drugs, only 36 (43.4%) of them consulted a physician to do so. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that headaches experienced during pregnancy should be taken seriously, since it leads to uncontrolled drug use
