Accepted Answer

Hormonal migraines ?: At age 50, your ovaries are producing higher levels of estrogen, and when your menstrual cycle occurs, the drop from very high to zero levels will cause some to have acute migraines.  Ask your gyn about low dose oral contraceptives, which will stop ovarian estrogen, and can be taken consecutively (without placebos) for several cycles, which prevents any drop in the low estrogen in the pill.

female 39 se asian active symetrical hormonal cystic acne both cheeks.i would like to try yasmin combined low dose pill to improve skin. only had 3 migraine auras in 2 yrs the nurse said won't prescribe as i am higher risk for stroke or clot true?

Accepted Answer

: Although not without some risk, low dose bcp's (combined type) have lower estrogen/progestin levels than generated at peri-menopausal times.  Ask for a referral to a board certified OBGYN physician for guidance.

Question 6

can hormonal fluctuations be causing my migraines? is it possible for monthly fluctuations in hormones to cause migraines?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Your periods are controlled by mechanisms in the lower brain that gives you a 28 day cycle via hormone messengers. Migraines are caused by loss of efficient control through the autonomic (automatic)  nervous system. Commonest cause is poor diet, especially all the sweet sugary stuff. Beat the chocolate (maybe salt also) craving pre period and see to your diet.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Discuss with Doctor: Making lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress and exercising regularly, also may help reduce the frequency, length and severity of migraines.

Question 8

i don't think my migraines are hormonal i have mirena (levonorgestrel) no probs for years. could anything else cause increase in severity/frequency suddenly?

Accepted Answer

YES: Many things can contribute to worsening or new headaches. Since you say the increase was sudden, you definitely need to be seen soon to rule out more serious causes and perhaps change your medicine.

Question 9

i get hormonal migraines with aura every so often. my dr prescribed me deblitane  (minipill) will this help to prevent them?

Accepted Answer

Debiltane minipill: Only you and the doctor can decide whether or not Debiltane is an effective treatment most of the time but there may come a time when this is not good enough.
If debilitane is not as helpful as needed you MUST discuss this with your doctor.

Please keep me informed.

Question 10

what's the difference between an ablasion vs historectomy if i wanted ablasion will i still have periods i get hormonal migraines will those go away?

Accepted Answer

Big difference: With an ablation, the lining of the uterus (the part that grows and sheds each month) is destroyed, leaving the uterus in place.  It is typically an outpatient or clinic based procedure.  A hysterectomy involves removing the uterus and is more definitive, but the recovery time is longer.  Hormonal migraines might improve slightly with either, but are unlikely to be cured.
