USA – A viral post posted by Seattle claims that two women 19 and 23 have been hospitalized because of a video posted on twitter telling women to use a vacuum to end your mensural cycle early.
“Ladies… Please stop using your vacuum hose to end your period early. You’re gonna wind up sucking out a lot more than blood! There were 2 cases of this so far this week and both women had to be admitted. Just… STOP,” said the tweet.
One person commented on the tweet asking the question we are all thinking, how do you go into shock from doing this. The Nurse replied that during a period your body naturally leaks blood at a very slow rate, with a vacuum it increases the flow with the suction and people can go into shock.
“Your period has a steady flow of its own that for all intents and purposes your body can tolerate. A vacuum increases the flow over 1,000 times which your body can’t tolerate, therefore sending you into shock,” said the reply.
