What causes headache during menstruation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low estrogen levels: Headaches during menses are related to dropped level of the female hormone estrogen during a woman's menstrual cycle. Premenstrual migraines regularly occur during or after the time when the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, decrease to their lowest levels.
