Women have more frequent and more significant hormonal fluctuations than men.
And a common thing is for a woman to have a migraine, migraines get worse in women at puberty. They are worse on a monthly basis, before, during, after menstrual cycles, around ovulation. Again with pregnancy, they can change. And then with menopausal changes migraines can become better or worse. You mentioned they can be called common migraines.
