Patient's question:
Not usually get headaches, but get headaches during sexual climax, with the onset lasting about 15 days.Doctor's answer:

(4) Negative emotions, particularly in women, such as reluctance to engage in intercourse due to poor mood or unfulfilled sexual desires, which are considered abnormal sexual behaviors.
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this condition is believed to result from excessive indulgence, improper sexual practices, and overexertion.
