What could be the causes of pain in the front of the head?
Hello, I’m 45 years old and have been having a headache for some time. However, this is not your usual headache that appears in your temples, but a headache in the front. I take painkillers and the pain disappears, but reappears in the same place from time to time. Headache in front it is not accompanied by fever or muscle aches. There is only a headache, which to be honest is starting to worry me a bit. I can immediately imagine, no matter what, and I don’t even want to check the information on the Internet, because there will immediately pop up a brain tumor and some other fatal diseases.
I wonder what the headache shows in front? Maybe there are some other symptoms that I need to watch out for that are very serious? I fear the worst. I’m afraid to go to the doctor, but I think I’ll have to. Should you immediately ask him for a referral to a CT scan? Can other tests be done to show what the headache headache is showing? I would like to emphasize that I am not a person who runs to the doctor for any reason.
In fact, I don’t have time to visit a doctor. Of course, I do preventive examinations, for example, I do a morphology every year and I regularly visit the gynecologist. Head tomography however, it is not a prophylactic examination. Please let me know what could be causing the headache in front.

Madam, pain in the forehead area may indicate, among other things, chronic inflammation in the frontal sinuses. It is characterized as distracting, intensifying when leaning. In addition to sinusitis, the common tension headache should also be taken into account, despite not being felt around the temples. Also, migraine can only present pain in this area.
Please remember that a certain type of headache is not always experienced only in a specific location. There are exceptions to the rule. Unfortunately, relapsing or lasting pain in the frontal area may indicate the presence of a tumor, including a meningioma or a tumor in the frontal lobes. However, apart from pain, there should also be other symptoms, such as morning nausea and vomiting, behavioral changes, speech disorders and epileptic seizures.
Of course, it cannot be determined without in-depth diagnostics. I suggest you go to your family doctor first, who will order basic tests, including laboratory tests and possibly an X-ray of the skull. Then, if there are indications, you will be referred to a specialist – a neurologist, or an ENT specialist. If there is a suspicion of proliferative changes, the specialist will order an imaging test, most likely it will be magnetic resonance imaging after administering the contrast. If an ENT is suspected, the ENT specialist should order the procedure computed tomography of the frontal sinuses.
