Studies researching headaches and menopause

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Monday 13 October 2008 at 4:18 am

The confusing part of all this is that studies researching headaches and menopause continue to be inconclusive. Some show frequency and pain improving once menopause has set in while others have said just the opposite. Some women seem to be lucky enough to never have another headache again once they become menopausal, while there are other women who have never been known to be headache sufferers who find themselves suddenly stricken with horrible migraines. Some researchers question whether these changes in headaches are menopausal in nature or just a reflection of aging. Studies show that even after age fifty-five migraines are still more prevalent in woman than in men. This makes some researchers certain that they are hormone related while causes others to question why even after menopause migraine pain is still so bad for women. Remediation

Changes just before menopause sets in

Blogged under General Health by Linda Lithony on Saturday 11 October 2008 at 6:11 am

There are often changes just before menopause sets in. This period is called perimenopause. It is the beginning of the major hormonal changes that will make a woman’s life more difficult until it settles down. It is the stage when hot flashes, emotional turmoil and night sweats are daily events. This will continue until the hormonal changes are completed. During this stage headaches are usually worse. Beware if hormonal replacement therapy is suggested, especially if you are already a headache, or more specifically, a migraine sufferer. Hormonal replacement therapy, also known as HRT, is known to make migraines much worse. Do not let doctors push you into this if you have worries about headache pain. As well, some studies have shown that there are medical issues related to hormonal replacement therapy that need to be researched before you accept your health care provider’s recommendation to begin this medical intervention. remedy

One is natural, when the body itself goes through changes over time as it adjusts to the hormonal fluctuations of growing older. When it is a natural menopause, studies show that women find a sixty seven percent improvement in headache suffering. Results also show twenty four percent will notice no change. But sadly nine percent will find their headaches get much worse.
