Get to know coital cephalgia, headaches during sex
If you experience frequent headaches when or after having sex, you may experience this disorder. Coital cephalgia is a disorder or attack of headaches that occur during or after sexual intercourse. This disorder is usually experienced by men.
Coital cephalgia is an attack of headaches that occur at the base of the skull before orgasm during sexual activity (including masturbation). Also known as the term orgasmic cephalgia, orgasmic headache, sex-related headached, sexual headaches or primary headache with sexual activity (HSA).
Men have more headaches during sex than women
Headaches during sex can occur in some men who have high risk factors such as excessive weight or obesity. Men with high blood pressure or hypertension, have a history of migraines, often have sexual intercourse with kneeling positions, use of amphetamines, and men who are undergoing treatment for erectile dysfunction are also very prone to suffer from coital cephalgia.
However, not only men. Women can also experience this disorder. Coital cephalgia is an unusual form of headache that can strike both men and women. However, it is statistically more dominant in attacking men than women in the proportion of 3: 1.
Men who experience coital cephalgia often show headaches during sex and are also associated with sexual activity. Pain often arises from the base of the skull. Then it spreads to the front. Usually this pain arises suddenly, or it can also slowly, then deteriorate during sexual activity or masturbation. The pain appears almost simultaneously with orgasm. Lasts for several minutes, hours, even days.
Symptoms of coital cephalgia based on the type
Coital cephalgia has been classified for a long time into 3 categories, namely initial coital cephalgia, coital cephalgia orgasm, and slow coital cephalgia. All three are distinguished based on the duration of the attack.
1. Initial coital cephalgia (early coital cephalgia)
It is a type of coital cephalgia that usually lasts short with intensity from moderate to severe. This type is often characterized by symptoms of tightening and muscle tension. In addition it is also often dull ache.
It often occurs bilaterally in the back of the eye and cervix. Usually the pain increases with increasing sexual desire. This first type is thought to be related to muscle contraction in the area around the head.
This is thought to be related to excessive contraction of the head and neck muscles that occur before orgasm.
2. Coital cephalgia orgasm (orgasmic coital cephalgia)
This type is classified as a severe headache. Can occur suddenly and last approximately 15-20 minutes. Pain is often felt by patients in the occipital area or behind the eyes. Even in some cases, this second type is often and common during orgasm.
Or in a more general form and occurs at the point of orgasm. It's just that this second type can be tricked so it doesn't appear. This can be prevented by delaying orgasm.
Orgasmic coital cephalgia is the most common type of headache associated with sexual activity. The cause is thought to be related to blood pressure. But if the headache continues when the blood pressure has returned to normal, chances are there are other factors such as suffering from migraines.
3. Clate citalgia (late coital cephalgia)
The late coital cephalgia is an attack of headaches that come after standing, after sexual intercourse. This type of headache has a relationship with head fluid. This is associated with low cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
If you feel a headache when sex interferes with your intimate activities. You should consult your doctor immediately.
