Question: Severe headaches when masturbating?

Answer:

Full Question:

Every time I masturbate just when I think I am going to be able to finish. I get a severe headache starting at the back of my head It goes from the back of my head up to the top and dose not stop until I stop masturbating. Even then it takes hours for it to ease. Sean.

 

Answer:

Dear Sean;

Headaches of any kind need to be diagnosed by a physician who has reviewed your medical history and performed an examination. Here's some information on one kind of headache that you could be experiencing to discuss with your doctor:

    Orgasm & Headaches/Migraine
    We've all heard the old joke, "Not tonight, dear. I have a headache." Right? Surprisingly enough, for some people, there definitely is a correlation between sexual activity and headache or migraine. Is that correlation good or bad?

If your regular physician can't help, check with a headache and Migraine specialist. There's a link below to our directory of recommended specialists.

Good luck,
Teri Robert and John Claude Krusz
