Sexual aspects of headache. How sexual function relates to headaches and their causes and treatment.
Since the sexual revolution of the 1960s, medical complications of sexual activity and sexual side effects related to use of medications have become a significant part of healthcare practice. Specifically, there has been an expanding interest in the treatment of headaches and their relationship to sexual function. Most sexual side effects associated with headache treatment are benign and can be managed with reassurance or changes in medication regimens. However, sudden headache should always be investigated carefully to rule out a dangerous intracranial event.
