A 23-year-old nursing graduate tragically lost her life due to severe blood loss following a sexual encounter with her boyfriend at a hotel in Navsari district, Gujarat, on September 23. Forensic reports indicate that the woman suffered vaginal tears, resulting in excessive bleeding.
After Sex, Woman Bleeds To Death As BF Consults Online Remedies
According to police, the couple panicked when the woman began to bleed during their time at the hotel. Instead of calling for immediate medical assistance, her boyfriend searched online for ways to stop the bleeding. He attempted to use a cloth to stem the flow, but when that proved ineffective, the woman fainted.
In a state of fear, the boyfriend called a friend to help and eventually took her to a private hospital, where she was later referred to the Civil Hospital. Unfortunately, she was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital.
While the boyfriend did contact her parents, they arrived too late to save her. The police have since sent the woman's body to Surat Civil Hospital for a forensic examination and have arrested the 26-year-old man, filing charges against him.
The above-reported incident highlights how many individuals hesitate to seek medical assistance for issues like painful intercourse, unusual bleeding, or other concerning symptoms. Instead of consulting healthcare professionals, they often choose to ignore alarming signs or rely on unverified online resources. This reluctance is rooted in deeply entrenched societal taboos and a pervasive sense of shame surrounding sex and sexual health.
Why Many Turn to Unverified Online Sources Instead of Seeking Medical Help
Why is it that, even in today's world, discussing sexual health remains so difficult? If sex is a natural human need, why isn't there an emphasis on education about it? Yet when it comes to our bodies and sexual health, areas that profoundly impact our lives, we often hesitate to consult professionals for guidance. Shouldn't understanding our bodies and sexual health be just as important as any other concept?
A woman has tragically lost her life, and many more have suffered in silence. Wasn't it a matter of 60 seconds to call a doctor and consult? And it could have saved her life, but the shame prevented them from doing so. This is something to think about.
