These are likely hormonal headaches, often triggered by the natural drop in estrogen right before your period. This is very common and highly manageable. For relief, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen. Taking them a day or two before your headache usually starts can often prevent them from becoming severe. If these do not help, a doctor can prescribe specific migraine medications like sumatriptan. Keeping hydrated and managing stress can also reduce their frequency. I recommend tracking your cycle and discussing these symptoms with your doctor to find the best personalized treatment plan.
