Do women still get their periods while in a coma? The question took social media by storm after it was posted by user @CloudxRaven last Monday (December 2), garnering almost 24 million views with more than 3,000 users leaving comments ranging from informative to… less informative.
“I’ve never seen a question so good, yet so bizarre,” a user wrote, echoing the sentiments of thousands of netizens scratching their heads at the phenomenon. Some, coming from fields unrelated to gynecology, went as far as to answer the question confidently.
“In most cases, menstruation stops during a coma due to changes in the body’s normal functions,” a user stated, only to be proven wrong when Otis Zeon, a Los Angeles physician hailing from South Africa, gave his expert opinion on the matter.
