I'm experiencing this intense headache that seems to start from the back on the left side of my head, but it only happens during orgasm. There's no lingering effect afterward, and everything else like my diet and sleep is normal. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm curious about what might be causing this. Any idea what could be going on?

It sounds like the headache could be related to a tension or vascular response triggered during orgasm. While it's not uncommon for certain activities to cause temporary discomfort, if this continues, I recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any underlying neurological issues. In the meantime, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep, hydration, and stress management is important.

I've been really worried about my mom. She's had these frequent head pains for nearly 24 years now, and more recently, her feet have started burning for the past 3 years. We've already consulted several doctors, including a BHMS and a general physician, but its just getting increasingly unbearable for her. Could you give me some advice on what we should do next?

_Lycopodium for Premature Ejaculation, Erectile Dysfunction, and Sexual Anxiety_ Lycopodium, a homeopathic remedy, is sometimes used to address various sexual health concerns. Here's a summary of its potential effectiveness: _Premature Ejaculation (PE)_: 1. _Limited evidence_: There is limited scientific research on the effectiveness of Lycopodium for PE. 2. _Homeopathic studies_: Some homeopathic studies suggest that Lycopodium might help alleviate PE symptoms, but these findings are not conclusive. _Erectile Dysfunction (ED)_: 1. _No conclusive evidence_: There is no robust scientific evidence to support the use of Lycopodium for ED treatment. 2. _Potential benefits_: Some homeopathic practitioners believe that Lycopodium might help improve erectile function by addressing underlying psychological or emotional factors. _Sexual Anxiety and Over-Excitement_: 1. _Anxiety relief_: Lycopodium might help alleviate anxiety and nervousness related to sexual performance, as it is sometimes used to treat anxiety and stress in homeopathic medicine. 2. _Over-excitement_: The remedy might also help calm over-excitement or hypersensitivity, which can contribute to PE or ED. _Dosage and Treatment_: 1. _Typical dosage_: The typical homeopathic dosage for Lycopodium is 1-2 pellets (1-2 mg) taken sublingually (under the tongue) 2-3 times a day. 2. _Individualized treatment_: It's essential to consult a homeopathic practitioner or a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific concerns. _Important Notes_: 1. _Lycopodium is not a substitute for medical treatment_: If you experience persistent or severe sexual health concerns, consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. 2. _Interactions and side effects_: Lycopodium can interact with certain medications or exacerbate underlying health conditions. Monitor your symptoms and report any concerns to your healthcare provider.
