About Menstrual Migraine

Menstrual migraine is a specific type of migraine headache that occurs in a predictable pattern around a woman's menstrual cycle, typically starting 2 days before menstruation and lasting up to 3 days into the period. It is primarily managed by an Obstetrics and Gynaecologist, often in collaboration with a neurologist, as it is closely linked to hormonal fluctuations, particularly the drop in estrogen levels. Management is not a single procedure but a comprehensive treatment strategy. This involves accurate diagnosis through detailed headache diaries and symptom tracking, followed by a personalized plan that may include acute medications to stop attacks, preventive hormonal therapies (like specific birth control regimens), and lifestyle modifications. The goal is to reduce the frequency, severity, and disability associated with these hormonally-triggered migraines.

Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor effectiveness and adjust medications.
Implementing recommended lifestyle changes (consistent sleep, stress management, dietary triggers avoidance) is a continuous part of recovery.
Patients are advised to continue their headache diary to track progress and identify any new patterns.
