Before I discovered this, I had never
combined headache and sex in the same thought stream. Yes sexual headaches are
real and affect more men than women in a ratio of 4:1. So find out if your
partner is a victim, this could be his reason for refusing.
Benign sexual headaches are of two types;
in the first type, the excitement accompanying intercourse causes muscle
contraction in the head and neck, thus leading to head pain. The second type is
a vascular headache; very intense severe headache usually occurring just before
orgasm. It is referred to as orgasmic headache. In some instances, the headache
is a response to an increase in blood pressure, in which the blood vessels
dilate.
Orgasmic headache is not usually related to
the amount of physical exertion involved in intercourse. The pain may be
located around or behind the eyes. It usually lasts a few minutes, but can last
for hours. The headache is usually made worse by movement.
A headache occurring with orgasm could be a
symptom of a brain haemorrhage (bleeding around or inside the brain), stroke or
tumour. An accompanying stiffness in the neck may be an indication of bleeding
into the spinal fluid.
