Sex can be The best Remedy
Sexual activity has been known to both trigger a headache as to relieve migraine pain, depending on their effect on each person, or more specifically the type of headache or headache you have. We have all heard of (and perhaps some of us have used) the old excuse of “Not tonight dear, I have a headache.
But beware! The next time you feel it coming a migraine attack, sex can be the best remedy.
There are two schools of thought and research on this issue: One holds that sex, especially orgasm, can relieve pain caused by migraine, and the other holds that sex can actually enhance the headache. You have to do your own experiments to see whether sex has any effect on their migraine, although it is known that in reality the difference is given by the type of headache. The common headache or tension-type headache can be exacerbated by sex, however the headache a migraine originated corresponds to a vascular headache and sexual activity can decompress the extracranial arteries, causing the migraine pain, relieved.
While the idea that sex can be “cured” a migraine sounds too good to be true, it’s true that can relieve pain, which is the most disabling symptom of migraine. A recent study by the journal Headache also suggests the above mentioned, also has something to do with this process serotonin, a neurotransmitter released during sex.
In the above, nothing has to do the “sexual headache, a type of explosive headache that occurs at the moment of orgasm, and that can have symptoms similar to those of a brain hemorrhage. Anyone experiencing this type of headache for the first time must come urgently to a doctor because it could hide serious diseases such as ruptured intracranial aneurysms or cervical artery dissection, according to Dr. David Ezpeleta, Spanish Society Neurology.
