Periods are tough. I mean, you experience stomach cramps, backaches, food cravings and so many emotions in just a couple of days.
But there are a few women who not only bleed through their vaginas but also through their eyes like crying tears of blood, during their periods.
After a 25-year-old married woman from Chandigarh was rushed to the hospital with bleeding eyes, the doctors were surprised to see her condition.
Trigger Warning: Users discretion is advised
She shared that she wasn’t experiencing any pain but the same thing had happened a month before.
The woman was subjected to several ophthalmological and radiological investigations, all of which came out to be normal.
The doctors probed a bit more and realized the tears came during her periods and reached a conclusion.
As it turns out, there’s a rare condition that some women experience during mensuration called ocular vicarious menstruation.
In this condition, a person can experience bleeding from extragenital organs (organs un-related to or away from the genitals.)
The woman was prescribed oral contraceptives which had a mix of both, estrogen and progesterone.
When followed up after 3 months, she shared she didn’t experience any such episodes anymore.
Looks like the grass is not greener on the other side this time.
