Özet
The ventromedial portion of the spinal trigeminal nucleus, together with the nearby lateral reticular formation in the pons and medulla, is the neuroanatomical regions responsible for sneezing. These areas apparently control several groups of muscles which work together to produce sneezes: those in the pharynx, those within the larynx proper and the muscles of respiration. Sexually induced sneezing is not triggered by irritation of the nasal cavity nor by allergenic stimulation. It may happen at any stage during sex. One term to describe the phenomenon is "honeymoon rhinitis". Honeymoon rhinitis thus refers to the situation where sexual activity leads to nasal symptoms, including sneezing, rhinorrhoea and stuffiness (i.e. congestion). Potentially, honeymoon rhinitis may be present in both males and females for their whole lives, but patient reticence about mentioning bizarre and embarrassing symptoms to their clinician results in under-reporting. Internet chat rooms and forums are often valued for their anonymity, and in such places the symptoms may be more readily disclosed. In this chapter, we presented honeymoon rhinitis. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
