Concussed,

One of the reasons women have more problems with concussion has to do with progesterone. During the low or even zero progesterone part of the monthly cycle, just after the period, the brain is less tolearnt of injury. progesterone is a neuro-protectant. It is believed this function is to protect the early neuro-development of a newly conceived embryo.

The fact that women are more emotional, the stress from emotional burdens can also present a problem. Stress is a great PCS magnifier. Lowering stress is the first step in trying to let the brain heal.
