Medical Video: The sniper scene that shocked fans! | Bodyguard - BBC
A case in England is quite in the world spotlight when a 29-year-old man comes to the doctor and states that his vision is interrupted after intercourse and reaches orgasm. This man said that the night before he had ejaculated quite strong due to orgasm and woke up with blurred vision in his left eye. After being examined by a doctor, the cause is bleeding in the eye so that some of his vision is disturbed.
What happens to the body when orgasm?
Ejaculation is the process of discharge of semen which contains sperm cells from the penis. Often ejaculation is likened to orgasm. In fact, these two things are different. Men reach orgasm through a series of processes involving a number of organs, hormones, blood vessels, and nerves that work together. The end result is ejaculation.
So, it can be concluded that orgasm is the culmination of pleasure and ejaculation is the end result of the process, which is the point where the penis secretes semen containing sperm through powerful muscle contractions.
How can ejaculation affect vision?
In the case of the British man, the doctor suspected that valsalva maneuvers were carried out when the man had an orgasm. Valsalva maneuver is a forced exhalation process even though the condition of the mouth and nose is closed. The process is similar to when someone jumps into the water to dive.
Usually the valsalva maneuver is performed for patients with heart disorders to evaluate heart conditions. Sometimes this method is also done as a treatment to correct abnormal heart rhythms or eliminate chest pain.
The effects of valsalva maneuvers are usually patients feel dizzy or faint (loss of consciousness). This process can also cause the release of blood clots, bleeding, and abnormal rhythms that come from the heart chambers which function to pump blood out of the heart.
Doctors who deal with British men stated that valsalva maneuvers that are not realized occur at the time of orgasm that is the cause of vision can be disrupted. Reflexively, some men may hold their breath during intercourse to delay ejaculation. This can cause the abdominal muscles to tighten, also leading to the buildup of pressure produced which will affect the blood vessels.
During orgasm, the valsalva maneuver suddenly increases pressure on the veins in the retina of the eye. This excess pressure can cause rupture of blood vessels in the eye. These broken blood vessels cause bleeding in the eyes and interfere with vision.
Is there any special treatment that needs to be done?
No special treatment is needed for this case. Some studies show this bleeding can heal by itself within a few days or weeks. You only need to wait for your vision to return to normal. However, if you really feel uncomfortable or unable to see, immediately consult an ophthalmologist.
Prevent vision problems due to sex
Orgasm and ejaculation rarely cause harmful damage. Only, what needs to be considered is not to push yourself too much. Just enjoy the process.
If it's time to ejaculate, don't hold it by holding your breath. Whereas if you hold back ejaculation because you have a problem with premature ejaculation, immediately contact your doctor to deal with your problem.
