Hormonal Changes During Menopause Can Be Migraine Headache Trigger

Migraine headaches are characterized by moderate to severe throbbing pain that occurs typically on one side of the head. This pain is usually aggravated by physical activity. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to loud noise. Migraine headaches can typically last between four and 72 hours.

Some migraine headache sufferers experience these attacks every few days to very rarely. Hormonal migraine headaches can be difficult to prevent, as sufferers have no control over hormone fluctuations.

Menopause

Hormonal changes are known to cause migraine headaches. This means that the fluctuating hormones before a menstrual period and during menopause can trigger migraine headaches in women. During both of these times, the estrogen in a woman’s body is constantly changing.

Typically, women who experience migraine headaches around the time of their menstrual period are more likely to experience migraine headaches during menopause.

While every woman’s body is different, hormone fluctuations are the cause of menopause. For some women menopause can make the migraine headaches less severe, but for others menopause can bring on the first migraine headaches. It is also thought that the hormone therapy that is given to women during menopause can also be linked to migraine headaches. However, it is good that hormonal migraine headaches typically stop after menopause, because estrogen levels are consistently low.

This type of migraine headache can be treated with medications and alternative treatments. Some doctors will prescribe hormone therapy during perimenopause. This can be helpful for some women, while for other women this can make the migraine headaches worse. The goal of hormonal treatment is to stabilize estrogen levels. This can be accomplished by taking hormonal treatment the few days leading up to a predictable period. However, during perimenopause periods can be unpredictable.

Other medications that have helped migraine headache sufferers are magnesium, aspirin, triptans, and NSAIDS. While some medications are taken as a precaution and some are taken at the onset of pain, it can be difficult to find the right course of treatment. Alternative therapies such as biofeedback and relaxation techniques can greatly help migraine headache sufferers. They may also see help from changes in lifestyle like diet changes, stress reduction and a regular sleep schedule.
