Woman suffers stroke during sex

A woman suffered a stroke due to her imminent orgasm while receiving oral sex from her partner, it has emerged.

The woman, a 44-year-old from west London, United Kingdom, was receiving cunnilingus but just as she was about to orgasm, she passed out in the bedroom.

She was rushed to a hospital where doctors found a blood vessel had burst inside her skull.

Medics at West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth, west London, said the patient was unconscious for three minutes after first suffering a headache during the oral sex.

Her partner, whose gender was not revealed, said they noticed during sex that “her body was stiff”.

Doctors wrote in a British Medical Journal case report, “On closer history taking, the patient reported nearing orgasm while receiving oral sex from her partner before losing consciousness.

“Her partner estimated she was unconscious for two to three minutes, with no convulsive activity reported. She had otherwise been well preceding the event.”

Doctors initially thought she had suffered a seizure. They sent the woman for a CT scan and it revealed a “trace of acute subarachnoid blood” — a type of stroke that causes bleeding in the space around the brain.

The patient’s bleeding was caused by a small aneurysm, a bulge on a blood vessel like a balloon or bubble that bursts, according to Reddit.
