Throbbing head? Hormones could be part of the picture.
Headaches & migraines can hit you at different life stages. Midi helps you understand what may be behind your symptoms and provide care that's right for you.
Why is this happening?
It may not be just stress.
Hormonal changes may be part of the picture, even if you're not experiencing other symptoms.
Your hormones can change. Your headaches can too.
Drops and fluctuations in estrogen levels can trigger migraines. For some women, these hormonal changes can lead to more frequent headaches or migraines during perimenopause.
You're not imagining the change.
Hormonal shifts throughout life can affect migraine patterns, from menstrual cycles to perimenopause to menopause. Understanding what's changed can help you find the right next steps.
There's more than one way forward.
Not every headache is hormonal. Your Midi clinician considers your symptoms and health history to help you understand what might be going on.

Can HRT help with headaches and migraines?
For some women whose migraines worsen with hormonal changes, hormone therapy that provides steady estrogen levels may help. Book a visit with a Midi clinician to explore whether HRT is right for you and what to consider before starting treatment.
Real Midi Patients. Real relief.2
My 3-day migraines left me exhausted. With Midi's HRT plan, I have no headaches, I sleep well, and I feel like myself.
I came to Midi with migraines, frozen shoulder, hip pain, fear of driving, and hot flashes. Now they’re all gone.
I recommend Midi to all of my friends because women don't have to suffer alone, in silence, or accept feeling miserable.
Instead of focusing on just my labs, Midi listened to my symptoms and concerns, finally putting all the pieces together.
Two doctors told me my labs were ‘normal.’ Midi looked beyond my labs, treated my symptoms, and gave me relief.
No waiting 40 minutes to hear 'it’s just stress.' I started HRT and felt like a brand new woman by the next day.
I have a better understanding of my body, more confidence in my healthcare decisions, and a renewed sense of agency.
Midi listens to women, understands how complex midlife hormones can be, and centers care around the whole person.
