" Question When I am about to ejaculate, I get a severe pain on the left hand side of my head.  Last time the pain lasted for about 20 minutes and I had a headache in the same area for two days.  What can this be?   Answer The act of ejaculation is a complex series of events.  Headache during coitus may be classified as one of three types, depending on onset.   Early coital cephalgia, which is usually moderate and of short duration.  Orgasmic coital cephalgia, which is abrupt, severe, and lasts 15 to 20 minutes.  Late coital cephalgia, which is of long duration (hours to days) and which occurs after orgasmic coital cephalgia.   From your description it would appear that you possibly suffer from types two and three. Prognosis is generally good. High blood pressure, pre-existing migraine and psychological factors are all significant in the evolution of coital cephalgia.  Coital headaches require additional investigation to exclude associated problems and I advise that you attend your doctor to discuss matters further.  Treatment with propranolol hydrochloride is often most successful in the management of coital cephalgia because the drug may alleviate the hypertension that can accompany this type of headache.  In a study of various types of headache, it was noted that propranolol and indomethacin were the treatments of choice in management of coital headache.
