In this episode, Dr Natalia Spierings is joined by her father, Dr Egilius Spierings, MD, PhD, visiting consultant neurologist to the Spierings Medical Group and a specialist in headache and migraine.
With almost 50 years of experience in medicine, Dr Spierings shares his perspective on the relationship between menopause, oestrogen, HRT and headaches, including why hormonal changes can have such a significant impact on migraine.
In Part One, we discuss:
• Why migraine is more common in women
• The relationship between oestrogen and headaches
• Why some women experience improvement in migraine after menopause
• Whether HRT can affect headaches
• Why symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog and hair loss shouldn't automatically be attributed to menopause
• Hypothyroidism and iron deficiency as potential causes of symptoms
• Why modern migraine treatments are still underused
• Dr Spierings' new book, Headaches: Why You Have Them, What You Can Do About Them
This is Part One of a two-part conversation. Part Two continues next week.
