  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8400207/

  Headache associated with sexual activity can run in families. One study described four sisters suffering from this type of pain. Another study described two cases of familial primary HAWSA suffered by a mother and daughter. These reports suggest the existence of a genetic factor that could determine the familial occurrence of the condition. However, this question needs to be confirmed by further observations. […] For patients who have been diagnosed with a primary headache during sexual activity, conservative, pharmacologic, or surgical management may be recommended. Conservative management consists of sexual restraint (usually for 3 months). Many patients can stop the headache or reduce its intensity by taking a more passive role during coitus.

• #28 Headache Associated with Sexual Activity | SpringerLink

  https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-88-470-1700-9_29

  Two entities are currently identified: headache occurring before orgasm and headache occurring during orgasm. Primary headache associated with sexual activity is more frequent in men than women (mean age: 40), and is more frequent in migraineurs. Preorgasmic headache is typically a bilateral pain, predominant in the occipital and cervical regions. It is described as a dull ache that increases progressively, typically intensifying as sexual excitement increases, and lasting a couple of hours to several days. This type of headache might be caused by an excessive tightening of the head and neck muscles during sexual activity. Orgasmic headache is the most common variety of sex headache. It usually gives no warning, as in thunderclap headache. Its duration is highly variable (from few minutes to 3 h, usually, but can last up to 48 h). This type of headache is usually isolated, but accompanying symptoms such as nausea, emesis, phonophobia, or photophobia can be found. Practically, this headache must be considered as a thunderclap headache. At first manifestation, a subarachnoid hemorrhage must be ruled out as a priority, and then other medical conditions, as preruptured aneurysm, arterial dissection (carotid, vertebral, or intracranial dissection), diffuse segmental vasoconstriction, bout of hypertension, and CSF hypotension. Once all conditions from the list above have been ruled out, the headache is considered as primary. It is essential to reassure the patient, and propose first nonmedicinal approaches (relaxation, biofeedback, even though scientific evidences are poor for such treatments). If necessary, beta-blockers (propranolol) or calcium-channel inhibitors (diltiazem) can be proposed. Taking indomethacin 30 min before sex could also be helpful.

  Computerized tomography (CT). In some cases, especially if your headache occurred less than 48 to 72 hours beforehand, a CT scan of the brain may be done.

  Interestingly, this type of headache tends to resolve with repeated sexual activity. […] A common scenario would be that a healthcare provider would, partly in order to reassure their patient, have them use indomethacin for two or three episodes of sexual activity and then have them stop. […] However, for those who may continue to have attacks, medications such as beta blockers can sometimes be used for prevention when indomethacin is ineffective, doses are difficult to time, or it is poorly tolerated.
