A matured woman and a housewife has left doctors in a shock mood as she cries blood 🩸 when she is on her period.
This was reported in India, and according to reports, she is 25 years old, and she has been diagnosed with haemolacria after going to the hospital to seek medical attention at the city’s Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (Dailystar report)
Haemolacria is a physical condition that causes a person to produce tears that are partially composed of blood.
According to Dr Soumitra Ghosh, who documented the case in a new study, said: “Haemolacria means bloody tears. Patients will have blood coming out from one or both eyes.”
Blood coming out with tears is a very alarming clinical entity both for the patient and physician. If you see blood coming out from the eyes, you can imagine how scary a situation it is.
“Haemolacria is a rare clinical condition. It has multiple causes. One of the causes is vicarious menstruation.
“Vicarious menstruation is defined as cyclical bleeding in other extrauterine organs like the nose, eyes, ears, intestine, lungs, nipples and skin.
“Haemolacria due to vicarious menstruation is very, very rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature so far.”
That particular phenomenon has been a baffling thing to the topics, having tears of blood while menstruating is very important according to them.
Certain ocular and orbital tissues are seen to be hormonally responsive.
“Oestrogen and progesterone can increase the permeability of the capillaries resulting in hyperemia, congestion and secondary bleeding from extrauterine tissue.” Doctor Ghosh added.
The lady was reported to have been treated with oral oestrogen-progesterone contraceptive pills (combined pill).
On her three month medical check up, the patient was on these pills and she’d had no repeat of the episode.
