A member asked:
Can a female get headaches while on her period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. The menstrual period can be a trigger for migraines and tension headaches. Some types of migraine tend to occur only during or around the period (called menstrual migraine).However, any new headache or old headache that has changed character needs proper evaluation even if it appears to be related to periods.
