How to get rid of a menstrual migraine?

Every month around my period, I get a terrible migraine that leaves me incapacitated. My doctor said it's a menstrual migraine. What are the best ways to get rid of a menstrual migraine?

Beta, during your periods, the body goes through many changes. Sip on some warm fennel tea and rest in a quiet room, but don't hesitate to consult your doctor if the pain is too severe.

Instead of buying expensive headache balms or devices, keeping track of your cycle on a free app helps you prepare in advance. If it's recurring, a one-time gynecologist consult is worth the fee.

I understand how painful this is. Try to lie down in a dark room and use a cool cloth over your eyes to find some comfort.

My sister suffers from this every month. She usually keeps a cold gel pack on her forehead and stays away from all screens, which seems to help her cope with the pain.

I find that avoiding processed foods and excess salt during the week before my period helps reduce water retention and migraine triggers. Drink lots of plain water and eat light.
