News Desk: A new study has found that there is a possible link between migraines, headaches and sexual issues in women. The study was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

 

A migraine headache is a severe pain felt on one or both sides of the head. Besides pain, one may have nausea and vomiting, and be very sensitive to light and sound in migraine.

 

The study involved 100 women with migraines and headaches and kept them in observation for three months. Finally the researchers found that 90 percent of women with migraines and tension-type headaches also have sexual problems and 29 percent of these women are stressed about their sex lives.

 

In this experiment the women treated for primary headaches were found to display a high rate of sexual symptoms and distress compared to the other group.

 

It was also found that both migraine and tension-type headache were associated with sexual pain and Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), but women with Chronic Tension-Type Headache (CTTH) seem to be more prone to develop sexual distress.

 

"Women treated for primary headaches were found to display a high rate of sexual symptoms and distress," researchers said.
