8 Types of Headaches

Hormonal Headaches

Like with cluster headache, hormonal headaches are more common in women [10] than men. This type of headache results from hormonal changes or fluctuations in women. Hormonal headaches [11] come with hormonal changes during menopause, pregnancy, menstrual cycle, use of oral contraceptive, and hormonal replacement therapies [12]. Using over-the-counter medications like naproxen, frovatriptan are also effective treatments for this headache. Women can also use modified diet [13], yoga [14], and acupuncture [15] as natural remedies for hormonal headache.
