Headaches in women, including women who are pregnant.
There are new concepts in headache definition and pathophysiologic characteristics, but both classification and management remain largely the responsibility of the principal care physician. Women are particularly vulnerable for some types of headache. When a woman needs medical help she usually turns to their personal physician, who can be expected to diagnose and successfully treat most headaches.
