What Causes Sudden Headache During Sexual Intercourse?
Sudden headaches during intercourse may be caused by overly vigorous movements, excessive frequency of intercourse, or intense sexual stimulation.
1. Overly Vigorous Movements
If the movements during intercourse are too vigorous, they may affect the body's circulatory system, causing blood flow to accelerate significantly. This may lead to headache due to cerebral blood vessel dilation and subsequent insufficient blood supply.
2. Excessive Frequency of Intercourse
Some individuals who are newly sexually active may engage in intercourse too frequently due to heightened sexual desire, leading to excessive physical exertion. This overexertion and resulting fatigue may trigger headaches.
3. Intense Sexual Stimulation
Intense sexual stimulation during intercourse can cause excessive excitement of the brain's nerves and the sympathetic nervous system, affecting cerebral blood vessels and causing them to constrict to some degree. If this is accompanied by excessive psychological tension, it may lead to blood pressure fluctuations and elevation, thereby inducing headaches.
