Menstrual Migraine



What is menstrual migraine? 

Menstrual migraine is a type of headache that occurs in women during their menstrual cycle, typically around the time of their period. It is believed to be caused by changes in hormone levels, specifically a drop in estrogen.

What exactly causes it..

The exact cause of menstrual migraine is not known, but it is thought to be related to the changes in hormone levels that occur during the menstrual cycle. The drop in estrogen is believed to cause inflammation and changes in the levels of neurotransmitters that can lead to migraine headaches.

How do you manage it?

There are several ways to stop menstrual migraine or manage it at home without using drugs:

  • Keep a migraine diary: This can help you identify triggers that may be causing your headaches, such as certain foods or stress.
  • Use hot or cold compresses: Applying a hot or cold compress to your forehead or neck can help relieve pain.
  • Practice relaxation techniques: Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga can help reduce stress and tension, which can trigger migraine headaches.
  • Get plenty of rest: Getting enough sleep and taking regular breaks during the day can help reduce the frequency of migraine headaches.
  • Maintain a healthy diet: Eating a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains can help prevent migraines.
  • Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help reduce stress and tension, which can trigger migraines.
  • Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help prevent dehydration, which can trigger migraines. 
  • Use aromatherapy: Certain essential oils, such as lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus, can help relieve migraine pain.
