However, it is only since the 1970s that it has become the subject of more extensive and detailed scientific interest. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the development of the concept of HAWSA, its clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment especially from the research perspective of the last 20 years. Primary HAWSA is a benign condition, whose etiology is unknown; however, at the first occurrence of headache associated with sexual activity, it is necessary to exclude conditions that are usually immediately life-threatening. Migraine, hypnic headache or hemicrania continua have been reported to co-occur with HAWSA, but their common pathophysiologic basis is still unknown. Recent advances in the treatment of HAWSA include the Citation: Sci´slicki,P.;´ Sztuba, K.; introduction of topiramate, progesterone, and treatments such as greater occipital nerve injection, Klimkowicz-Mrowiec, A.; arterial embolization, and manual therapy.

  • Headache Associated with Sexual Activity
    A Rare Primary Headache Disorder: Headache Associated With Sexual Activity Buse Cagla ARI1, Fusun Mayda Domac2, and Samiye Ulutas2 1Siirt State Hospital 2Erenkoy Mental and Nervous Diseases Training and Research Hospital May 6, 2020 Abstract Background: Primary headache associated with sexual activity is a rare type of headache mostly seen in male gender and initiates at the 3rd decade. Even though the pathophysiology is still unknown, it is a benign type of headache and must be reminded on the differential diagnosis of the secondary headache. Materials&Methods: Thirteen patients diagnosed as primary headache associated with sexual activity were evaluated by their clinical and demographic data. Results:Ten male and three female patients were evaluated. The mean age was 37.07± 7.67. Headache was usually localized at bilateral occipital area or diffuse, starting with a severe ache and sudden explosive intensity in association with preorgasm in 8 patients and orgasm in 5 patients with a mean VAS score of 7.8±1.2. The mean duration was 21.53± 15.32 minutes. Five of the patients had a history of migraine, 3 had arteriel hypertension and two were diagnosed as primary thunderclap headache with sudden beginning and high intensity ache. Conclusion: Herein we presented our cases to highlight the importance of differential diagnosis. Patients may have difficulty of explaining the problem therefore their sexual activity could be limited.Apart from pharmacological prevention, counselling and facilitation plays important role in managing. Introduction Primary headache disorders associated with sexual activity (HAS) was formerly known as benign sexu- al/intercourse headache or orgasmic cephalalgia (1).

    British Journal of Medical Practitioners, March 2010, Volume 3, Number 1 BJMP 2010;3(1):304 What if the ‘sexual headache’ is not a joke? ArticleArticle Margaret J Redelman ArticleArticle Margaret J Redelman Abstract Headaches and sexual activity are often treated with humour as a typical way for women to reject male advances. However, headaches associated with sexual activity can be anything but a joke. HSA (headaches associated with sexual activity) are by definition benign conditions but the symptoms can be the same as in serious life threatening cerebral conditions and these need to be quickly excluded at the first presentation. Most sexual headaches are of a benign nature. However, the first time an HSA ReviewReview ReviewReview occurs it can be a traumatic, frightening occurrence for the patient. HSA are capricious in nature with poorly understood pathophysiology and uncertain course of the condition. Patients need to have the situation clearly explained to them so that management can be optimal. However, good overall management of a patient with HSA should also include discussions about possible negative sexual consequences of the HSA experience. Sexuality can be affected by HSA both during the active condition and subsequently. Sexuality must be addressed by the treating physician if the patient/couple are not to be left with an ongoing negative effect on their future sex life as a consequence of the HSA. Keywords sexual headache, sex, sexuality, headache Headaches associated with or occurring around sexual activity sexual headache after coitus, which is present on standing, eased have been recognized since the time of Hippocrates [1, 2] .

  • The Complexity of Headache Management
    The Complexity of Headache Management Headache Management Bernard Abrams, MD From the seemingly endless number of headache entities, the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICH D-2), updated in the year 2004, offers a new understanding of headache disorders. It is the key to the diagnosis and treatment of headaches. It divides headaches into primary and secondary with four primary headache categories and 8 secondary headache categories. A primary headache disorder is not due to another condition whereas a secondary headache disorder is due to another identifiable condition such as a brain tumor. The primary headache disorders are: • Migraine • Tension type headache • Cluster and other trigeminal autonomic cephalgias • Other primary headaches The secondary headache disorders are: • Head and neck trauma • Cranial or cervical vascular disorders • None vascular intracranial disorders • Substance abuse or withdrawal disorders • Infection • Disorders of homeostasis • Disorders of the cranium, neck, eyes, nose, sinuses, teeth, mouth, or other facial or cranial structures • Psychiatric Since the vast majority of headaches in pain practice are primary headaches, the majority of this monograph is devoted to them. Evaluation of headaches: The distinction between primary and secondary headaches is the key. There are two goals for any headache evaluation: 1. The recognition of primary headache syndromes for which treatment is available. 2. The recognition of secondary syndromes which may constitute a threat to life or function. The headache evaluation consists of a detailed history, pertinent information from the physical examination and pertinent diagnostic laboratory studies including imaging when indicated. Of these, the most important factor to consider is the patient history. The secondary disorders will be dealt with briefly below.
