Can headaches be a sign of menopause?
Although headaches certainly can occur at any time in life, they can be a menopausal symptom. This is due to the fact that estrogen levels drop off during the pre-menopausal stage and leads to a significant migraine, especially during the time of menstruation. Studies show that estrogen therapy does help somewhat to alleviate headaches. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can re-balance hormonal function and control migraines.
