Headaches and Sexual Activity

 |  dr.Richards.MD

Men may experience headaches, pains and cramps during sexual arousal, during ejaculation, or in the post-orgasm or post-ejaculation for many hours or days. How do we explain that phenomena?

Prolonged sexual activity will burn out the acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine and androgen hormones (testosterone, DHEA, androstenedione) in the brain, it will also elevate the levels of cortisol in the blood and the dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion. This elevation will induce an excessive release of prolactin, epinephrine and oxytocin, where the oxytocin and epinephrine can cause tissue volume expansion or engorgement, but the cortisol - prolactin - epinephrine will trigger COX-2 and PKS over-expression, which will lead to excessive prostaglandin E-2, thus resulting in nervous-arterial inflammation.

The prolactin and epinephrine (in the sympathetic nerves alpha-2 receptors) will produce a continuous contraction against the nerves that will at that time lack the vital prostaglandin E1 for elasticity and relaxation, and so one will experience persistent pains and headaches. The lack of prostaglandin E1 will result in a constant tightness and rigidity of the tissue, blood vessels and nerves when in post-orgasmic state. With the additional release of prostaglandin E2, one will suffer various symptoms as long as the prolactin and epinephrine have abnormal levels. Some of the symptoms may be: blurred vision, eye redness, post sex ear ringing, and eye floaters.

A persistent elevation of prostaglandin E2 may indicate that the testicular function is too exhausted, a burn or pain in the testicles will be observed.

If one engages in a overly-active sexual activities, a change of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be present, this is so because any chemicals in the bloodstream can diffuse through the Blood-CSF barrier in the chroroid plexus of the vestibular system. One should avoid drinkig alcohol when there are harmful substances in his blood, due to the alcohol in the bloodstream pass through the Blood-CSF (of also called BBB blood-brain-barrier) very easily. This is exactly why it is so harmful to mix excessive sexual activity with drinking. Prostaglandin E2 will also damage or loosen the BBB. If you have inflammatory pains, you must stop drugs abuse since the drugs chemicals can easily pass into the CSF under this condition. You also must make sure that your blood doesn't contains any neurotoxins.

Headaches after orgasm are a result of excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion that takes place in the hypothalamus and hippocampus. The norepinephrine triggers excessive prostaglandin E2 production in the adenergic aplha and beta receptors of the noradrenergic receptors in the brain. Post-orgasm headaches occur when orgasm induces norepinephrine-epinephrine-prolactin release starts to constrict the arteries of the brain (this is done via the alpha receptors in the arteries that will lack E1 and E3). The arterial constriction will continue untill the serotonin, vagal and GABA nervous function regain their control on the dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and restore the dopamine-hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal and testicular axis, that will elevate the dopamine, oxytocin, androstenedione, testosterone, DHEA and DHT production, thus reducing the levels of cortisol, prolactin, norepinephrine and epinephrine. For a sexually exhausted men, this process can last anywhere from several days to even months.
