The burning ache in my scalp has gotten worse over the last couple of months. What should I do?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Have you got any tests done? Headache or burning ache could occur in a deficiency of vitamin B12. This can worsen anxiety. The symptoms in your case can be due to underlying anxiety. Over thinking might result in anxiety. Lack of pleasure during sex might be a learned behavior that does not directly affect headaches. I think both are independent symptoms. Treatment of anxiety should help in this.

Hi again Yes please get the tests done. Do you feel soreness in vaginal area or head? What I understand is head or when someone strokes your hair. This is most likely a learned behaviour due to anxiety most likely. Some times isolated in any isolated incident individuals develop heaviness or burning in head which when occurred while during intercourse, got conditioned and became a learned behaviour. This is one possibility. To get out of this you have to totally ignore any kind of symptoms. Exposure and the gradual desensitisation is needed. Try to have intercourse and ignore any kind of issue like burning in head or headache. You may take analgesic before intercourse to reduce the headache. The exposure will relieve your anxiety and you will gradually develop confidence and you will gradually come out of this issue. I hope you are understanding what I am saying. Have bath with warm water before sex and this will relax your body and you will be anxiety free during sex. Also spend more time in foreplay and this will too excite you which will bypass anxiety. Keep one thing in mind that you have to come out of this anxiety. Thanks.
