Man suffers eye hemorrhage after trying to delay 'climax'

The pressure of orgasm caused the British man to rupture a blood vessel in his eye and lose vision in his left eye.

Orgasms can lead to many strange phenomena such as sneezing, headaches and even temporary loss of vision as in the case of an unnamed 29-year-old man in the UK.

According to Men's Health, after a hot night of lovemaking, the male patient was hospitalized because he woke up without being able to see out of his left eye. Doctors discovered that he had impaired vision due to bleeding in his eye.

The medical team determined that orgasm was the cause of the above condition. Specifically, during sex, the man held his breath and tensed his abdominal muscles using the Valsalva method to delay the "climax". As a result, the retinal vein pressure was pushed up suddenly, causing the blood vessels to rupture.

In fact, many men have the habit of holding their breath to prevent ejaculation and face the risk of encountering similar incidents. However, doctors reassure men not to worry too much because this phenomenon will quickly disappear on its own. Currently, the 29-year-old man's left eye has returned to normal.
