Hormonal headaches and migraines can worsen significantly during perimenopause as oestrogen levels fluctuate unpredictably. Women who already experience menstrual migraines often find they increase in frequency or intensity during this time.
The relationship between hormones and migraines is complex, and choosing the right form of HRT — one that delivers stable oestrogen levels rather than causing further fluctuation — can actually reduce migraine frequency for many women.
This is precisely the kind of nuanced, specialist knowledge available at The York Clinic. Our clinicians take a careful, detailed history and work with you to find a treatment approach that minimises headaches rather than aggravating them, helping you manage this often-debilitating symptom with confidence and expertise.
