| Description: |
Migraines can be linked to menstruation (periods). Around half of women who experience migraine find that attacks tend to happen just before their menstrual period. Migraine frequency and severity can be influenced by birth control or contraceptive pills (the pill) and may worsen during the menopause. Low levels of the sex hormone oestrogen could play a role.
