Hormones
Migraine is linked with female hormones. This may be why more women than men have migraine.
Many women with migraine have their first migraine attack during their teens, often around the time that their periods start. Some women find that their migraine attacks are linked to their menstrual cycle, so they may have attacks around the start of their period.
When women go through the menopause, they may find it difficult to manage their migraine attacks as they are more unpredictable.
