Q I've heard that migraines naturally improve with age. Is this true?
A To some extent, that is correct. Women in their 40s and 50s and older tend to experience migraine relief as estrogen fluctuations decrease after menopause. Men also frequently see a decrease in the frequency of attacks as they age.
Detailed Answer
Migraines tend to naturally improve after age 50, and in women in particular, menstrual migraines may disappear or decrease as estrogen levels stabilize after menopause. However, in some cases, the condition may actually worsen during the menopausal transition. If managed well from a young age without becoming chronic, relief in middle age can be achieved sooner.
DongJedang Clinic Perspective
DongJedang believes that if active brain-cleansing and blood-replenishing treatments are started in one's 30s or 40s, the process of natural relief after age 50 can be accelerated or achieved without the condition becoming chronic. In particular, if you sufficiently replenish Qi and blood before blood deficiency deepens, migraines become less severe even during the rapid estrogen fluctuations of the menopausal transition.
