A member asked:
Why does my daily headache get worse the first day of my period, was put on birth control to stop headache/period no luck., so was taken off of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: Headaches that change with the menstrual period are usually due to "catamenial migraine". Migraine is known to be related to hormones such as estrogen. However, this doesn't mean that an oral contraceptive pill necessarily would relieve someone of all headaches. The effectiveness of birth control pills for migraine likely depends on the specific type of drug and dose.
