What could be the reason for sexual headaches and absence of periods for nearly one year?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 29-year-old healthy female. My height is 5 feet and my weight is 60 kg. Lately, I have been experiencing sexual headaches (orgasmic headaches after masturbation). I have not been experiencing this before these recent episodes. There is another issue in which I have not been having periods for almost a year now for which I have not taken proper medication as of yet. I am worried that these sexual headaches will persist though it is not something I have experienced beforehand be it masturbation or with my partner.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

Hormonal imbalances are causing these symptoms for you. It is better to have detailed general physical and specific health work. Have a detailed check-up for any health issue and try to have regular and complete treatment. I suggest the following.

1. Have a normal balanced diet with less salt, sugar, oil, and spice.

2. Have daily walks and exercise.

3. Try to have a normal BMI (body mass index) and weight.

4. Have combined oral contraceptive pills for 3 months to regulate cycles.

5. Have blood test on day 2 ( progesterone, prolactin, insulin, FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), and testosterone) and transvaginal scan.

Collect laboratory results and discuss them here or with a local gynecologist. Hormonal imbalances can cause masturbation pain. You can have the tablet Postan (Mefenamic Acid) 500 mg 8 hourly for pain. You can consult a specialist doctor, and take medications with their consent. Have recreational activities and long enjoyable orgasms before sex.

Thank you.
