Why am I getting headache during sex?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Headaches at peak of sex or after sex is usually associated with medicines used for erectile dysfunction like Viagra (Sildenafil).

• Sometimes, pain at orgasm can occur without any significant disorder due to sudden change in the hemodynamics of blood supply to various organs during and after orgasm.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• I think you might be suffering from a rare disorder known as coital cephalgia or sexual headache.

• It is caused due to contraction of facial, neck and upper back muscles during the peak of sexual excitement and orgasm.

• Although, it is a benign disorder with no complications, it can be disturbing the couple.

• I recommend you to get a contrast enhanced CT scan done to rule out any other significant intracranial lesion.

• You will be benefitted by taking tablet Inderal-LA (Propranolol) 40 mg and tablet Indocap (Indomethacin) 25 mg, both in the evening. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him and take the medicine with consent.
