Migraine is a serious headache, usually accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. This can disable you a few hours or even days. At what level such a situation, even the frequency varies.
A recent study showed that women suffering from migraine than men. Although the exact cause is unknown, the emergence of birth control devices will be one of the culprits.
An example of this is the birth control device oral contraceptives. This is because their ingredients change the woman's hormone levels and the causes of migraine. Of course, the reason is too much estrogen added: This is what is the natural body.
In addition to migraine, oral contraceptives may lead to medical anomalies, from uterine fibroids breast cancer.
Sometimes, migraine may occur before or after the attack, to oral contraceptives. If this happens regularly, I suggest you try another method of birth control. This can be avoided, but if you take it with food or milk. You have to take this at the same time, every day and adhere to the prescribed dosage, it is to you.
Women over the age of 35 and migraine experience, the use of contraceptives and other devices is the increasing risk of stroke. This is another reason for the strong views of some institutions, women use something, otherwise, if they do not want to pregnancy.
Those who are diabetes, high cholesterol levels and blood pressure are advised not to take oral contraceptives.
But there's hope. One of the latest oral contraceptives, the seasonal date. The drug was introduced into the market in 2003, it makes the experience of women, only a period of four times in one year, which means less headache, migraine patients.
However, this oral contraceptives may not work for everyone. If you suffer migraine is due to nerve problems, this will not do any good, you will have to find a birth control device.
Women may still choose to use oral contraceptives. This is only the doctors in their inspection, it all looks very good, he or she will be that low-dose oral contraceptives. Talk to your doctor, or even full blown migraine prevention of the occurrence, because there is no permanent solution to prevent this from happening.
But there are some women who experience migraine, even before they start using oral contraceptives. In fact, the frequency did not increase or decrease once they are on the pill, but complained that severe migraine gets worse.
Severe migraine will not disappear overnight, you withdraw from the use of oral contraceptives. Research shows that this would take a few months for your hormone levels to normalize and only at that time, you can see an improvement.
Nevertheless, the migraine will still happen, would you blame it not only to the pill, but because of other factors, such as food, you eat, stress at home or in the office, other drugs, you might consider, and physical factors Changes in the environment.
Therefore, although a direct link between oral contraceptives and migraine, you can not say that this is the only reason, women are more men.
