I am 37 year old woman.

Every time I orgasm I get a severe headache.

This has only started in the last couple of weeks and is not from intercourse. This happens only when I do myself and I am unable to complete / enjoy orgasm due to headache particularly happens at that time. Please advice

Many people who have sex headaches will experience them in clusters over a few months and then go for a year or more without having any sex headaches. Sex headaches that come on suddenly are more likely to be associated with:

• A widening or bubble in the wall of an artery inside your head (intracranial aneurysm)
• An abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain (arteriovenous malformation) that bleeds into the spinal fluid-filled space in and around the brain
• Bleeding into the wall of an artery leading to the brain (dissection)
• Stroke
• Coronary artery disease
• Use of some medications, such as birth control pills
• Inflammation from certain infections

Sex headaches associated with loss of consciousness, vomiting, stiff neck, other neurologic symptoms and severe pain lasting more than 24 hours are more likely to be due to an underlying cause.
