A member asked:
Is estrogen an absolute contraindication for women who get migraines, or is it dependent on duration or severity of migraines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Migraine: I'm not aware that estrogens are an absolute contraindication for women who have migraine headaches uncomplicated by hypertension or vascular disease, but a neurologist would be best qualified to advise you.
