Suffer From Migraine, Swollen Cervix With Foul Smell. Any Suggestions?
Today I woke up with a nasty migraine that nothing is working with. Tonight, I noticed that my cervix is extremely swollen, hard and has a foul odour. It feels really full. The last couple of days I have been unusually tired, exhausted, can t move tired. Should I be worried, or is this something normal. I had a baby two years ago and since then something has been wrong that no one can diagnose where my right side of my body goes numb, looses feeling, and then a serious headache follows.

Hello,
Let me tell you that there are many causes of headache like migraine, cluster headache, tension headache, brain tumor/infection and so on. Note that migraine is a diagnosis of exclusion, i mean the secondary causes need exclusion.
The cause of headache can be confirmed after an assessment by a neurologist which may/may not include scan. If it turns out to be migraine,
You will benefit with
1. Acute attack: sumatriptan nasal spray, analgesics etc. Learn to avoid stress, lack of sleep, changes of food habit. Avoid coffee
2. Chronic treatment: one of the medicines _ valproate, topiramate, amitriptyline, propranolol may help
Your neurolgist will help guide you select a proper drug for you
Regarding the swelling in cervix and foul odour, i think you need an examination to see if there is anything wrong and if a local swab is required or not. If it is infective, it will improve with a course of antibiotics
Hope this clarfies your query
