Too much of a “good” thing can be bad for you. That definitely rings true for a 51-year-old Japanese man who nearly died from masturbating.
According to Daily Mail, the man used to masturbate several times a day. Last year, he came close to death after he suffered a stroke before ejaculating – and there might be an explanation for this: According to the NHS, the stroke could have been triggered by sex, coughing and going to the toilet. Not too long after suffering the stroke, the man was reportedly getting headaches and later started vomiting.
Man nearly dies from masturbation?
The man then sought medical attention and visited a local hospital. When they examined him, doctors found he had low blood pressure and was disoriented. They conducted a CT scan on the man’s brain, to try and get to the bottom of his ailment.
When the results came out, they found that he had experienced a subarachnoid haemorrhage, which is a life-threatening type of stroke that was caused by a blood vessel in his brain rupturing. Fortunately, the man survived and left hospital after being admitted for two weeks.
“Herein, we report a case of sCAD in association with masturbation. A 51-year-old right-handed man developed subarachnoid hemorrhage during masturbation. The dissection of the left internal carotid artery was evident on the 9th hospital day. Finally, he was treated with stenting and coiling and discharged with a good prognosis,” an abstract from the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases reads.
Dr Masahiro Oomura and colleagues, who published the case report, has given no explanation as to why the man may have suffered a stroke from masturbating.
