Q: i have total blindeness in my left eye for a period of one minute directly after my mansturation

every months in the tenth day of my mansturation period , i lose sight in my left eye for a period of one to two minutes , it started as a dark cloud then it comes to a pont that i lose my sight 100% then this cloud goes gradually and i regain my sight .

I'm so worried , i contacted a lot of doctors and most of them say that i have a migraine aura ,however as i read the symptoms i dont find them matching with what i'm suffering from .

Hi Nancy!

 

Yes, it could be Migraine aura. Do you get head pain along with this blindness? There are a couple things it could be (and probably some I'm not listing).

 

Migraine with Aura

Silent or Acephalgic Migraine (if you are not experiencing head pain with aura)

Retinal Migraine

 

What type of doctors have you contacted? If you have not already, I would check with your eye doctor. Also, you may want to seek out a neurologist too.

 

Good luck!

Eileen
