How Long Does Coital Headache Last?
Coital headache should be explored promptly
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
Coital headache is a uncommon type of headache and should be very carefully evaluated. If you were at my clinic this type of headache would have been considered very seriously.
The reason of this concern lays in the associated conditions which occur during sexual intercourse presenting with headache, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage or cerebral infarction.
This is the reason why you should consider a neurological consult to rule out such eventualities.
Further more,5 day are unusual for a normal coital headache caused by cervical muscular contraction lasting for 24 to XXXXXXX 36 hours.
Hope this helps. Once you rule out the serious eventualities and after the appropriate treatment for the headache you can turn to your sexual activity in a couple of days.
Best regards
Then, you should treat your headache
Detailed Answer:
Hello again. Then it seems like a simple coital headache.
