What causes headaches after sex?

It is actually not uncommon to have headaches after sex. Many people have tension headaches due to sexual frustration and worry that their partner will not be satisfied. Some people have headaches due to a sharp rise in blood pressure during orgasm.

1. Modern medical research believes that headaches related to sex life are of two types: psychological and pathological.

2. Generally speaking, people with psychological headaches are self-centered, irritable, and like to do things their own way and according to their own wishes. Therefore, when they occasionally experience sexual frustration or worry that their partner is not satisfied, they will have tension headaches. These headaches mostly occur at night. The way to relieve it is to relax during sex and not worry about sexual frustration.

3. Pathological headaches are related to human diseases or blood pressure, and usually occur during and after sexual intercourse. Headaches during sexual intercourse often start at orgasm, while there is nothing abnormal about the sexual intercourse. It is mainly caused by a sharp rise in blood pressure during orgasm and is a hypertensive headache. Headaches after sexual intercourse are mostly caused by an unsatisfactory sex life.

4. In addition to adjusting your mood, you might as well try taking some Chinese medicine. Sexual intercourse headache belongs to the category of "sexual intercourse depression" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is mostly caused by liver and spleen disharmony or qi and blood imbalance, and abnormal rise and fall. You can use Chinese medicine to relieve depression, harmonize the liver and spleen, and promote blood circulation and qi, such as 20 grams of white peony root, 15 grams each of Chuanxiong, Bupleurum, Corydalis, and Ze Lan, and 10 grams each of Cyperus rotundus, Citrus aurantium, and Licorice. Take it in decoction, 1 dose per day.
