Hormonal migraine is migraine linked to changes in your hormones, most often the fall in oestrogen around your period. Pure menstrual migraine means attacks only around the time of your period; menstrually-related migraine means attacks around your period and at other times too.

Migraine is more than a headache. Common symptoms include:

• Moderate-to-severe throbbing head pain, often on one side
• Nausea or vomiting
• Sensitivity to light, sound or smell
• Visual disturbances (aura) in some people, such as flashing lights or blind spots

In the days just before your period, oestrogen levels fall sharply. This drop is thought to affect brain chemicals and blood vessels in ways that can trigger a migraine in susceptible women. It's the same hormonal shift behind migraine changes during pregnancy and menopause.

Aura means warning symptoms, usually visual, such as zig-zag lines, flashing lights or blind spots, before or during a migraine. Migraine without aura has no warning signs and is the most common type. The distinction matters because it affects which treatments and contraception are safe for you.

Triptans are a group of medicines designed specifically to treat migraine attacks. They work on serotonin receptors to narrow blood vessels and calm the pain pathways involved in migraine. They're most effective taken early in an attack, and come as tablets, melts and nasal sprays.

Take it at the first sign of an attack — triptans work best early. They come as tablets, melts that dissolve on your tongue, and a nasal spray for when sickness makes tablets hard to keep down. If one triptan doesn't work well, switching to another often helps.

Combined hormonal contraception (containing oestrogen) is generally not recommended for women who have migraine with aura, because it can increase the risk of stroke. Progestogen-only and non-hormonal options are usually considered instead. Always discuss this with a healthcare professional.

Often, yes. Depending on your pattern, options may include taking medication in the days around your period, daily preventer medicines, or steadying hormone levels. Tracking your attacks against your cycle helps identify the best approach, something a clinician can guide you through.

Seek urgent medical attention if you experience:

• A sudden, severe “thunderclap” headache unlike any before
• Headache with fever, stiff neck, confusion or a rash
• Weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking
• A first or very different migraine after age 50
