Pain with orgasm happen with PsA?

Not sure if it is associated with PsA, but it only happens with orgasm. Just wondering if anyone else experienced an extremely intense painful feeling like your head is going to blow up when having an orgasm?

  1. Thanks for asking such a tough question, DebC! May I ask if this has suddenly started occurring? Have you switched any medications or treatments lately just prior to onset?

    1. No not new, been going on for a couple years. Just getting a diagnosis of PsA, have had the psoriasis for decades.

    2. I wonder if it's related to the muscles? Orgasming causes our pelvic floor muscles to contract, so if PsA has affected any tendons/ligaments in that area, it may irritate them? I'm not a doctor, this just seems plausible to me.Thanks for asking, Deb. I'll keep an eye out for this when I'm doing research.
