Estradiol and migraines
Hi all,
I am 55 yo menopausal woman. I had horrible migraines during perimenopause which have thankfully subsided now that I'm officially "paused." But I am considering estradiol cream for improving sexual function, and wondering if any women out there have used this without ill effect? I'm scared to try it but running out of options... I hate the idea of introducing hormones now that I am not disabled by migraines. Hoping a small amount won't be bad...
Hi maias,
Thank you for your question and being here with us! Let's see what information I can give you that will help.
I use Estrace, a similar medication, thankfully without any added head pain or increased migraine attacks. I use this cream every other night and find it very helpful.
Does that help?
NancyHi Nancy,
Yes thank you! Hoping my experience mirrors yours.
