Menstrual Migraines are classified into two kinds: 1)Menstrually Related Migraine (MRM), and; 2) Pure Menstrual Migraine (PMM). A Menstrually Related Migraine is a headache of moderate-to-severe pain intensity that occurs during a certain time around the period and even at other times of the month while Pure Menstrual Migraine, on the other hand, occurs during the time around the period. What exactly causes Menstrual Migraine is still uncertain, but some studies claim that there appears to be a connection between changes in hormone levels around menstruation and migraine. Studies have revealed that it may have something to do with changes in hormone levels which usually happen right before the period starts. Also, in those women who are likely to suffer from migraine, this can act as a hormonal trigger.
