Menstrual Migraines
Menstrual migraines are headaches that occur around the time of a woman's period, often triggered by hormonal changes—specifically, the drop in estrogen just before menstruation begins. These migraines can be more severe, longer-lasting, and harder to treat than other types of headaches. Symptoms may include throbbing pain (often on one side of the head), nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and fatigue. Some women experience them regularly, either only during their menstrual cycle or along with other migraine episodes throughout the month. Treatment may include hormonal therapies, preventive medications, or acute migraine relief strategies.
