Woman Loses 10 Years of Memory After Pushing Too Hard in Toilet

A shocking medical incident recently emerged from Hong Kong where a woman temporarily lost around 10 years of her memory after straining too hard during constipation.

The woman had been suffering from constipation for nearly two weeks, several international media groups reported recently.

On one occasion, while using the toilet, she applied excessive pressure, after which she suddenly became disoriented and could no longer recall events from the past decade.

Alarmed family members rushed her to the hospital.

Doctors confirmed that her condition was temporary and linked to a rare episode of transient global amnesia. For nearly 8 hours, she was unable to remember her recent past, but her memory gradually returned without any long-term damage.

Interestingly, the woman had no recollection of the 8-hour period of bliss itself after recovering.

Many medical experts on different forums commented that intense straining can briefly reduce blood flow to the brain, which may trigger sudden but short-lived memory loss.

This condition is generally harmless and resolves on its own, though doctors advise not to ignore repeated episodes.
