If you have a history of severe headaches, especially accompanied by visual disturbances such as flashing lights, you should be aware of the risks of taking birth control that contains estrogen, most notably an elevated stroke risk.
The changes in the levels of estrogen induced by birth control pills may affect the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, “estrogen adversely influences the brain receptors that play a role in migraine development.”
