I have appointment with my neurologist next month. I am going to tell him about my menstrual. It was irregular my menstrual period would stay on for 6 months. I had to start taking birth control pills to regulate it.
Thank you Becky
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , I’m 46 & have now officially gone a year without a cycle. My hot flash & night sweats were awful this year but in a few months ago I saw a Gynecologist for my hot flashes due to my Menopause & she gave me an Estradiol patch & I strongly recommend it because my Family doctor had given me the pill & after 2 weeks of it & the Progesterone, I stopped both because they were hurting my stomach. The Gynecologist said that others also get stomach aches from the Estradiol pill & so she gave me the Estradiol patch & again gave me the Progesterone & after a few weeks or so the pill & patch started helping so much & now I rarely have any problems with my hot flashes & night sweats. So if you haven’t seen a Gynecologist about this you might want to do that & get some medicine similar to this. Make sure to describe the issues you’re having & ask any questions. Good luck.

Yes, hormones can still affect you after menopause. Even though your periods have stopped, you may still experience hormone fluctuations that could impact your epilepsy. Be sure to discuss any hormone changes with your neurologist. Let your neurologist know about the irregular and prolonged menstrual periods you experienced Show Full Answer
