Concussion in Women

A concussion in women is a type of mild brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull. Women may experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, confusion, and sensitivity to light or noise. Hormonal differences and differences in brain structure can influence how women experience and recover from concussions. Proper rest, medical evaluation, and gradual return to activity are important for recovery. If symptoms persist or worsen, professional medical care should be sought to prevent further issues.
