Why do I get a headache every time I have an orgasm?

　　Headache due to sexual intercourse clinical Performance can generally be divided into the following three types:

　　1. Vascular headache: This type is the most common, accounting for about 70%. It occurs before sexual intercourse or during the peak period of sexual desire. It is rapid and intense, and is limited to the forehead or occiput. It is explosive or pulsating, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours; later it turns into a slight dull pain, which can last for about 48 hours. About 1/4 of patients have Migraine family history. Sometimes it may be accompanied by palpitations, but rarely vomiting, and occasionally mental confusion. Attacks may be avoided if the head and neck are kept in a low position during sexual intercourse.

　　2. Tension headache: This type of headache accounts for about 25% of sexual intercourse headaches. It occurs in the early stages of sexual intercourse, and is most severe during the orgasm period. It manifests as a dull pain or tightness in the whole head or occipital area, lasting from several hours to several days.

　　3. Low-cranial pressure headache: This type is rare, accounting for about 5%. The patient suddenly develops a headache, which lasts for 2 to 3 weeks and then spontaneously improves, and may recur after sexual intercourse again. Headaches are mostly located under the occipital bone and are obviously related to body position. The headache worsens when standing upright, accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

　　The occurrence of sexual intercourse headaches is related to sexual psychology, sexual physiology, sexual knowledge, sexual habits, etc. During sexual activity, due to sexual excitement, head and neck muscles spasm, blood circulation accelerates, blood pressure rises, and blood vessels spasm, resulting in pain. If there is vascular stenosis (including congenital and acquired causes), the blood circulation in the brain is not smooth, and the blood is concentrated in the reproductive system during sexual excitement, which can lead to brain ischemia and pain.

　　In addition, there are some life factors that can also cause headaches during sexual intercourse, such as sexual intercourse too frequently, for too long, excessive physical fatigue, poor sexual intercourse environment, poor air flow, and noisy sounds that make people upset, which can also cause headaches. Others, such as bad mood and sudden changes in body position during sexual intercourse, can also cause headaches.

　　Make suggestions:

　　After understanding the cause of headaches, when your partner complains of headaches, you can take care of him or her according to the following principles:

　　1. Preventive medication. If you have a history of high blood pressure and migraines, you can take a small amount of antihypertensive drugs or analgesics before sexual intercourse.

　　2. Create a good sexual atmosphere. The environment for sexual intercourse should be quiet, the room should be ventilated, and you should be in a good mood.

　　3. Pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Sexual life should not be too frequent, and attention should be paid to controlling emotions, stopping in moderation, and not being overly excited.

　　4. Pay attention to the art of sex. You can continue to be gentle after sexual intercourse, but do not get up immediately unless there are special circumstances. Don't change positions too quickly during sex. When imitating certain difficult positions, you should pay attention to your own abilities.
