What is a Migraine?

A migraine is more than just a headache—it is a neurological condition characterized by intense, throbbing pain, usually affecting one side of the head. Migraine attacks may last for several hours to days and can be accompanied by:
1.Nausea and vomiting
2. Sensitivity to light and sound
3.Visual disturbances (auras)
4.Fatigue and brain fog

 

Types of Migraines

🔹 Migraine with Aura (Classic Migraine) – Includes sensory disturbances like flashing lights, zigzag lines, or temporary vision loss before the              headache begins.
🔹 Migraine without Aura (Common Migraine) – Does not include visual symptoms but causes severe pain and nausea.

 

Why Are Migraines More Common in Women?

Research indicates that women are more prone to migraines due to hormonal fluctuations. The primary female hormone, estrogen, influences brain activity and pain perception. When estrogen levels fluctuate—during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause—migraine attacks become more frequent.

Other contributing factors include:
Genetics – A family history of migraines increases the risk.

Stress & Lifestyle Habits – High stress and poor sleep patterns trigger migraines.
Dietary Factors – Processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol can provoke attacks.

 

Recognizing Migraine Symptoms in Women

Women often experience distinct migraine symptoms at different life stages, including:

🔸 Throbbing Head Pain – Usually affects one side of the head.
🔸 Sensitivity to Light & Sound – Bright lights and loud noises worsen symptoms.
🔸 Nausea & Vomiting – Many women experience stomach discomfort and dizziness.
🔸 Visual Disturbances – Flashing lights, blind spots, or zigzag patterns before or during an attack.
🔸 Extreme Fatigue – Migraines can lead to prolonged exhaustion (postdrome phase).

Some women experience hormone-related migraines during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause.
