A member asked:
What is the cause of having a terrible headache after orgasm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get checked: There is a type of headaches known as sex headaches, where sexual activity or orgasm can cause a severe headache. Sometimes this is nothing to worry about and can often be prevented with medications, but it is very important to get tested for abnormal blood vessels in the brain (such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations).
