Sex before unconsciousness

Magnificent sex - not just a beautiful metaphor, but a medical diagnosis, say neuroscientists. According to the observations of American physicians, extreme sensations during love- games are quite capable at the time of eclipse the mind and cause a short-term memory disorder.
As proof of his words, experts describe the clinical cases of medical practice. For example, recently in the Washington hospital asked 54- year-old woman, who was in a state of panic. She explained that immediately after having sex with her husband suddenly lost all memory of what happened during the previous 24 hours.
The woman was diagnosed with transient global amnesia ', writes Daily Mail. A survey in the clinic at Georgetown University found that no brain damage in patients was not. Doctors reassured her, assuring that the state is temporary and soon will be, but to treat such symptoms should be very seriously, because they cause severe stress.
At present, almost nothing is known about the mechanism that causes such states. Some experts believe that the reasons lie in the failure of the blood valves jugular vein, when a poor oxygenated blood to be pumped down to the heart, but instead sent back through the jugular vein and reaches the part of the brain that is responsible for storing memories.
' We do not know much about the causes ( events) - confessed to journalists at the Institute of Neurological Research in Buenos Aires, Sebastian Ameriso. - It causes a lot of anxiety, but it's still not a stroke or something else that can cause damage to brain tissue. Most of these cases are without serious consequences '.
As noted by physicians, suffer from a bewildering few risk sex. According to a study published in The Journal of Emergency Medicine, doctors monitored annually about 100 thousand. cases, the transition of global amnesia, including incidents such as that described above, only three to five year.
In most cases, anterograde amnesia is the character - where a patient has difficulty forming new memories. In some cases, a person affects the retrograde amnesia, in which all or part of the picture is blurred past events.
Most often, the memory is fully refundable within a few hours. However, in these hours people are experiencing a lot of unpleasant emotions, fear, or ever lose its memory, or that they had diagnosed with severe disease.
According Ameriso, the greatest risk of short-term memory loss are subject to the older generation aged 50 - 60 years. Moreover, transient global amnesia cause can strain not only in bed, but also in the gym, and even in the toilet. In any case, in the event of such symptoms promptly encouraged victims to turn to professionals skilled care. Often, memory loss - a symptom of more serious health problems such as stroke.
