A 45-year-old American woman nearly died after suffering a severe “rupture” in her breast during orgasm. The pain was caused by a life-threatening injury to the aorta, the body’s largest and most important artery.
“The patient had sex with her husband and during her orgasm she felt a violent eruption in her chest with radiation in her back,” the American Journal Case Report Medical magazine said after the strange case broke.

In the emergency room, medical staff concluded that the patient, who declined to be identified, had worrisome vital signs. Her blood pressure was 220/140 mmHg, while the normal reading for a 40-year-old woman is 120/80.
In addition, these data were confirmed with the past of the woman. “He had a medical history of high blood pressure and admitted a history of tobacco abuse of approximately 17 years. He said he currently smokes six to seven cigarettes a day.”
Doctors gave him morphine and fentanyl to stabilize his blood pressure. They later discovered that he had a leak in his aortic vein known as Acute aortic syndrome, for its acronym in English AAS. A serious illness that can lead to death.

In addition, the patient had an intramural aortic hematoma, which can lead to a total rupture of the aorta. According to research, 40% of patients die from this disease.
Fortunately, the woman recovered and was discharged from the hospital after three days of specialized treatment. Doctors stabilized her blood pressure without surgery.
