Extreme headache following orgasm? - Sexual Health - Men Message Board

Hopefully this is the right place to post my question, since it's a little personal I wouldn't want to ask anyone but a doctor, which I'm sure I will soon. Anyway, for about a month or so now nearly every time I orgasm I get an intense headache that starts on the back right side of my head and feel pain all the way up to above my right ear. The more intense the orgasm, the greater the pain. It almost feels as if I have a really sore upper neck but theres also a throbbing pain that comes with it. Sometimes I can have an orgasm and not feel it but the majority of the time (90%) I have the headache immediatly following. Often there is a slight pain, almost like I'm very hungry, in my stomach and I have even gotten light headed and dizzy. The headache will go away sometimes prety quickly within 10 or 15 minutes, but other days (like today) it lingers for hours, often until I go to sleep. I'm obviously very concerned and am hoping it is nothing serious but it is very scary since I have never had pain like this in my head. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Like I said as soon as I get a chance I will see a doctor about it but it's kind of difficult since I have to go through my parents for insurance purposes, since I just recently turned 18 myself and do not have my own plan. Thanks for any help.

It's called a coital or postcoital headache. Here's a link but it will probably get removed by the mods. Hope you see it.

Anyway, you should definitely see a doctor to rule out any abnormalities that might be causing the headaches

I had orgasm headaches. They were splitting my skull, like migranes, every time I climaxed. I had every test known to man, and they all turned up nothing. The headaches left as mysteriously as they came, after about six weeks.
Although they have been known to medicine for about two millenia, no one knows what causes them.

Your headaches are normal. I actually on occassions get these headaches myself. Upon speaking with my Dr about it he explains that men are most likely to get these headaches and not women. The headaches are caused by getting too excited during intercourse, as my Dr. has explained to me.
