Does Tragus Piercing Avoids Headache And Migraines?

I heard that getting your tragus pierced can help stop getting headaches/migraines. I get a lot of headaches and I m put on medicine for now but can getting my tragus done help with relief? and also, I think my body rejects piercings, I ve had my nose pierced twice and it had came out both times and I don t know why so I m hoping that you can explain to me why that happened and if something bad would happen if I were to get a tattoo because my body rejects the piercings too.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

There is no medical evidence that tragus piercing prevents or stops headaches. Headaches are generally caused to muscle tension or vascular constriction and dilation in the brain and piercing the tragus will not affect these processes.

I would recommend you to avoid tattoos or piercing for the purpose of treating headaches as there is no evidence that these will help.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
