Migraine is highly prevalent in women, particularly in the reproductive years when contraception may be needed. Preventive strategies are known to be underutilized for migraine. Women of reproductive age may not only benefit from the use of hormonal contraceptives for contraception, but also for the purpose of reducing the burden of menstrual-related migraine. Although migraine is associated with an increased risk of stroke, the use of low-dose hormonal contraceptives in otherwise healthy women does not appear to confer additional risk.
偏头痛在女性中非常普遍，尤其是在需要避孕的生育期。已知预防策略在偏头痛中未得到充分利用。育龄妇女不仅可以受益于使用激素避孕药进行避孕，还可以减轻与月经相关的偏头痛的负担。尽管偏头痛与中风风险增加有关，但在其他方面健康的女性中使用低剂量激素避孕药似乎不会增加额外的风险。
