Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Hormones and Migraine with and without aura….

Question:

I found this study very interesting.  I never have the aura and I have recently been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Disease, which as one of the symptoms, infrequently or total lack of periods.  I will usually get a migraine the week before my period, which is very interesting according to the study.  I am going to print it for my Endroconologist.  Thanks, Linda

Response:

The study also found that women who have migraine with aura only have one-third as many headache attacks during their periods than women who have migraines without aura. In contrast, women who take oral contraceptives are also twice as likely to have migraines with aura. "

anne – I find that interesting. I have been somewhat of a bebafflement to doctors, as to why when I get my period, that is THE ONLY TIME my headaches are less, or non existent. Ahhhh. Shauna
