Why do some people experience headaches after masturbation?

Question

I would like a full scientific explanation of how it occurs and what are its side effects

Answer 1

The sexual act is a very complex affair involving nervous system, mind, organs, glands and whole body! The same for the o****m (sexual climax) that is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle. It is characterized by intense physical pleasure, controlled by the involuntary, or autonomic, nervous system, accompanied by quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround the primary sexual organs and the a**s. Orgasms are often associated with other involuntary actions, including muscular spasms in other areas of the body, a general euphoric sensation, and frequently, vocalizations.

Post o****m is often experienced as relaxing, which is attributed to the release of prolactin an hormone that has to block the erection & libido. But this hormone - depending on its volume - can give others different symptoms in people as weariness, headache, nausea, etc.. Male and female brains demonstrate similar changes during o****m, with brain scans showing a temporary reduction in the activity of large parts of the cerebral cortex.

Anyway, I advise you to have a complete common blood exam -at least -so to check some illness (as like as a simple anemia).

Answer 2

There are actually medical terms for this. They are either called orgasmic cephalalgia or coital cephalalgia. Orgasmic cephalalgia usually occurs right before or during an o****m that is intense and severe in nature, but has nothing to do with how vigorous the sexual activity is.

Coital cephalalgia is more of an exertional headache. This happens because the blood vessels in the brain dilate with increased excitement. It may be helpful to take deep breaths in through your nose and out your mouth if this occurs. Sometimes people will hold their breath or bear down during an o****m which can be a factor. By breathing this way it will prevent the pressure build up, and could even make the o****m more intense by increasing the oxygen in your body, and in turn increasing the oxygen to your genitals. Hope this helps!
