Benign sex headaches are severe headaches that occur during an orgasm. Despite the name of this condition, benign sex headaches are often quite painful. This condition has been known to exist since the time of Hippocrates (about 460 B.C), but only during the 1970's was it formally addressed by K. Kritz. Other names for this condition are coital cephalalgia, orgasmic cephalagia, and benign coital headache. There are two kinds of benign sex headaches, the first being described as a sudden explosive pain in the head during the point of orgasm. Patients have described the feeling to be like a sudden blow to the head, to a sudden throb like pulses similar to a migraine. The other type is described as a pain that intensifies as the onset of orgasm nears. In some instances both types of benign sex headache occur, the first type occurring immediately after the second type. There have also been documented cases where standing up after coitus has produced headaches. This type of coital headache is relatively rare. It can last for several weeks, and lying down relieves the pain.

Benign sex headaches occur more often in men then women, and there is a wide age of occurrence, ranging from ages 18 to 60. They are not limited to sexual intercourse; they can be triggered by any activity that ends up in orgasm (i.e. masturbation). This condition has an unpredictable occurrence, sometimes occurring at regular intervals, while in other cases it happens sporadically. However it is known that there is a higher risk of incidence if one is tired, stressed, and engaging in sexual intercourse several times in rapid succession. Having a history of migraines or tension headaches also increases the likelihood of having benign sex headaches. The duration of the headache also varies from individual to individual. It may last just a few minutes, or in more severe cases it can last a couple of hours to a day. The common factor in all cases is the intense pain in the first 5-15 minutes, then gradually subsiding as time passes. Coital headaches can also intensify certain preexisting conditions such as high blood pressure and other vascular problems, and may result in a stroke. Such complications are rare, but are important to note.

Late coital cephalgia, comes on after standing, and may last hours or days. It is thought to be associated with low cerebrospinal fluid pressure secondary to a dural tear following the physiological stress of coitus.

The pattern of headaches can be variable. Some appear suddenly, last for many months or years and stop abruptly, others occur on a regular basis for a long period of time. Attacks may be intermittent and mild, or so severe as to preclude any sexual intercourse.

 

Whilst most coital headaches are benign (primary benign cephalgia) - others are associated with significant morbidity ('malignant coital cephalgia'). Studies have shown that subarachnoid bleeding was precipitated by coitus in 3.8-12% of patients with saccular aneurysms and in 4.1% of patients with arteriovenous malformations.

 

Diagnosis The diagnosis of benign coital cephalgia is one of exclusion, having ruled out subarachnoid bleeding from a saccular aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation. Lack of accompanying symptoms such as blurred vision, vomiting or visual, sensory, or motor disturbances should identify benign headaches from those requiring further investigation. A careful history and examination is essential. Patients suspected of having a subarachnoid haemorrhage or arteriovenous malformation should have a neurological assessment, including CT scan.

 

Risk Factors These include obesity, kneeling position during intercourse, the degree of sexual excitement, stress, history of migraine and exertion headache, and a family history of headache and occlusive arterial disease. There is at least one report of familial sexual headache. Pharmacological triggers may include marijuana, amyl nitrite, amphetamines, sildenafil and some anxiolytics.

 

Prevention Weight reduction, increase in exercise, taking the passive role in intercourse, and avoidance of drugs which act as trigger factors are all thought to be helpful.

 

Management Relaxation therapy and biofeedback are poorly supported by evidence but have been helpful in some patients. With regard to drug management, there are no meta-analyses but the following are supported by randomised trials or case reports:

 

Propranolol - 40-240mg a day. This can be used on a preventive basis.

Indometacin - 25mg-75mg a day on an intermittent or regular basis.

Calcium channel blockers (e.g.verapamil 80mg tds)

The common factor in all cases is the intense pain in the first 5-15 minutes, then gradually subsiding as time passes. Coital headaches can also intensify certain preexisting conditions such as high blood pressure and other vascular problems, and may result in a stroke. Such complications are rare, but are important to note.

People who suffer from this condition should be reassured that this is rarely life threatening. Most of the time this problem will disappear on its own, but if the headaches occur frequently you should see a doctor. Once the headache has been determined to be benign via a CT (computed topography) scan, there is little to worry about. Some treatments used, if the problem persists are beta-blockers, which reduce blood pressure and are commonly used to treat migraines. To prevent further reoccurrence of benign sex headaches, the drug propranolol (sold under the name Inderal) is sometimes prescribed.

 

While headaches related to sex are generally benign, certain symptoms of headaches are more of a concern. Headaches that are severe, recurrent or accompanied by repeated vomiting, faintness or loss of consciousness, visual disturbances, loss of balance, or painful movement of the neck (especially chin to chest) , require urgent medical evaluation.

What about the severe headaches that occur in males when after being sexually aroused no release occurs? And that tightness in the lower abdomen when an erection is simply left to wilter back to its flaccid state? Are those conditions medically recognized as well?

[bakedzitiguy]

i had a friend who had coital headache.. kawawa nga. she should have been enjoying the moment, but instead had the unfortunate experience of having this kind of headache. as for Dr. Pepper's question, it's called blueballs.

While this is definitely a rare condition, I acknowledge that this sometimes happens. The operative word here is that these debilitating headaches occur at random and are self limiting. Like the article that you posted, it usually resolves by itself. Another prevailing theory with regards to this is that orgasm causes intense vasoconstriction that leads to this headache.

 

Tensing yourself up, in anticipation of the possible headache only tends to make it worse. My opinion in this matter is to take it easy and have a relaxing session of lovemaking rather than vigorous activity. After all, the only sex organ that really matters is the brain! Everything else is secondary.

 

Like it or not, I have experienced this as well, on some occasion. The headache goes away on its own and it hasn't bothered me since.

I haven't read the article, however, I would not put it past anyone who has been infected...

 

call it retaliation, revenge, retribution...whatever

 

even worse, further along the progression to AIDS could be Aids related Dementia...

[Green Lantern]

Interesting!

I had a patient who experienced this to a point that she would use it as a gauge in determining how good it was.

If she did not experience a headache post coitus, she did not believe that she reached a desirable level of satisfaction.

 

As for your case, this may be a manifestation of slight depression.

I strongly recommend that you take a good long break or vacation and take time to smell the flowers.

 

Baguio is wonderful this time of the year - cool and serene

Good advise, "Practice SAFE Sex"
