Medical Video: 6 Best G-Spot Strokes!
Stroke is a condition that occurs suddenly and can be life threatening. We know that strokes may be caused by heart irregularities, high blood pressure, stress, and a number of other risk factors. However, many people wonder whether sex can trigger a stroke. To answer this question, there are several scientific studies that evaluate whether sexual activity can be a cause of stroke or not, and anyone at risk.
Overall, it is not natural for someone to experience a stroke during sexual activity. In fact, strokes rarely occur due to a trigger. Usually, stroke is a result of long-term accumulation of heart problems such as smoking, high blood pressure, increased fat and cholesterol levels, poor control of diabetes, abnormal blood clots, and heart disease.
However, it has been written in the medical literature that strokes during or within a period of 2 hours after sex are more likely to occur in relationships outside of marriage. It has also been noted that sexual activity outside of marriage increases the risk of stroke associated with death. The cause of this is not known clearly, whether because of an increase in strokes associated with pre-marital sexual activity or because people who experience a stroke in this situation are usually reluctant to call for emergency medical assistance.
How often do strokes occur during sexual activity?
It is impossible to get all the accurate data related to this question. In general, people tend not to say that strokes occur during sex. They prefer to report strokes when they occur during activities that are not personal, such as driving or jogging.
Recent scientific articles published in February 2015 in the edition Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease evaluating 290 stroke patients and reporting that only 5 patients who triggered the stroke were sexual activity. This small amount is consistent with previous studies on the incidence of triggers associated with stroke.
Who is at risk of having a stroke due to sexual activity?
A person who experiences a stroke during or within a period of several hours after sexual activity generally experiences a warning sign several weeks or even a few months before. One of the most common warning signs is a headache thunderclap. This headache occurs suddenly, and is severe. If you have experienced this type of headache or other types of severe headaches during sexual activity, you need to contact a doctor, who will conduct a medical evaluation. Some people who experience this headache during sex will not continue to suffer a stroke, but around 30-50% are at risk for ischemic stroke.
Sexual activity is also a risk factor for those who suffer from brain aneurysms and therefore can trigger bleeding strokes. Older age is not a risk factor for stroke caused by sex. It has been reported that young people who do not have stroke risk factors can still experience strokes during sexual intercourse. Blood clotting disorders, serious congenital heart abnormalities, brain aneurysms, or drug use appear to play a role in this rare situation.
What should I do?
If you have experienced headaches, dizziness, or neurological symptoms during or after sexual activity, you should take a medical examination immediately. If your partner has symptoms such as headache, dizziness, changes in vision, speech that is not clear, weakness, or confusion during or after sexual activity, it is important for you to make sure your partner receives immediate medical treatment. Ischemic stroke and bleeding stroke, both of which can occur suddenly during sexual intercourse, and are a serious and sometimes fatal condition.
