Frequent headaches during sexual intercourse, sometimes lasting for several hours. Is there any other treatment besides avoiding sexual activity?
Sexual headache, also known as intercourse headache or orgasm headache, is an easily recognizable disease. There are mainly two types, one is similar to stress induced headaches, where the pain area is usually located behind the head. As the sexual impulse intensifies, the pain increases, and only before or before orgasm, there is a sense of rupture and pain. For the first type of sexual headache, its onset is related to tension headaches and muscle contractions. Prevention involves consciously relaxing the muscles in the neck, jaw, and shoulder areas before and during sexual activity. Regular relaxation exercises in these areas can help prevent headaches.
To rule out potential lesions in the brain, first go to the hospital for diagnosis and undergo angiography of the brain and its surroundings. The second type of headache with the first attack should be given more attention. If the cause of the disease is clear but the treatment effect is not good, sexual activity can be terminated before the onset of orgasm to shorten the duration of the headache. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate medication for treating migraines can also be taken before sexual activity β Receptor blockers can be used to prevent headache attacks, and medication can also be taken under the guidance of a doctor to shorten the duration of the headache.
Research has found that fear, anxiety, and sadness related to sexual activity can also have a negative impact on harmonious sexual relationships, leading to sexual headaches.
