Sex itself is a very wonderful thing, which can make the body and mind more joyful and temporarily forget all the troubles. However, some women even experience headaches after sex, which greatly reduces the quality of sex. What the hell is going on here?
Why do you have headaches after sex?
1. Suffering from cerebrovascular disease or hypertension
There will be severe headaches during every sexual activity, and hypertension and neurovascular diseases need to be ruled out. Go to the hospital for cerebrovascular and blood pressure tests, if these two problems are caused. Before sexual intercourse, a small amount of analgesics or antihypertensive drugs can be taken.
2. Sexually excited
Some couples may experience excessive tension and anxiety during sexual activity, which can lead to excessive stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, constriction of blood vessels throughout the body, and increased blood pressure during sexual intercourse. Without a certain buffering effect, the muscles in the head and neck will spasm, thereby accelerating blood circulation. Blood vessels can experience pain due to spasms, and in addition, when the blood vessels themselves become narrow, the blood circulation in the brain is poor. In addition, during sexual activity, a large amount of blood flows to the reproductive system, which can cause cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, leading to headaches. This type of person can massage the neck, shoulders, and jaw muscles before and after each sexual activity.
3. Postural headache
Postural headache is a headache caused by a sudden change in posture. Often accompanied by vomiting and nausea, it is highly likely to be a low intracranial pressure headache.
4. Having sex too frequently
Sexual activity is too frequent, sexual intercourse lasts too long, and both men and women are physically exhausted. The environment during sexual activity is too poor, and the air in the sexual room is not circulating or the sound is noisy, which can cause headaches after sexual intercourse. However, it only happens by chance, as long as it is adjusted properly, it can be alleviated.
