Dr Charles Mensah Cofie, an ophthalmologist at the Dziram Eye Clinic, has revealed that orgasm can cause one's Blood Pressure (BP) to rise.
According to him, an increase in blood pressure may cause ocular haemorrhage, which might harm the eye.
In addition to the impact on the eye, he said that orgasm might cause a stroke.
“Yes the enjoyment is in the orgasm but there are people who have had orgasms and they have had a stroke. Because when you have an orgasm, your BP goes up actually. So if you already have BP and your BP is not controlled then you have an orgasm then it goes higher. And that one can lead to bleeding in the eyes and even stroke,” he said on Ghana Television.
He continued ” Yes you have to be careful because BP leads to bleeding in the eye. I mean I watched a movie where someone had an orgasm and then he passed out and that was the end of it. They could but I mean they have to, BP when you have BP you go to the hospital, and they give you medication to control it. Once it is controlled, there’s no problem”.
