Hi All

I am hoping that someone here can help me understand what "orgasm of blood" is. It seems to be listed often in many of the MM's.

For instance in Chronic Diseases, Calc Carb, "at night much orgasm of blood" and many more......

TF Allen, Ammonium Muriaticum, "He appears to be constantly affected by orgasm of blood"....or Digitalinum "feeling of general orgasm of blood"

How would a patient describe this symptom? I can't imagine anyone walking into a clinic and saying something like "I occasionally get orgasms of blood".

Any clarification to help me better understand this symptom would be gratefully received.

Thanks
jayj

I have started reading homeopathy seriously. I am not a homeopath but searched for the answer of your question from books and computer softwares.

The answer of your question is:

Do you know what is blood pressure and which symptom is very closly matched in repertory with blood pressure when you want to add blood pressure symptom. Orgasm of blood is exactly the same symptom as pressure exerted on blood vessels. May be I am wrong

blood rush?

It's like a feeling of congestion, flushes of heat, often associated with anxiety. The sensation may be localized or general.

Once I was at a lecture and I wanted to ask a question of the speaker. As soon as the microphone was in my hand, I think I almost lost consciousness. I did ask my question but couldn't physically hear the answer because my ears were ringing, my heart was pounding, my face was flushed. I just nodded my head at what I hoped were appropriate intervals. It took several minutes for the effects to wear off and to stop shaking.

So if your patient reports this kind of reaction under stress it could be an avenue worth exploring, or it may be a confirmatory sign of a particular remedy.

Chris, would you descibe it as an anxiety attack?

Thanks Chris.

You said "often associated with anxiety". I have a friend who suffers from anxiety attacks. She feels as though she is going to die, having a heart attack..... (she is not online so I can't question her about the sensations she feels) but I am beginning to wonder what comes first. The orgasm of blood, which results in anxiety or anxiety which is followed by the orgasm of blood. I suppose it could go both ways. My friend has been hospitalized quite a few times when having these anxiety attacks. She has seen homeopaths in the past, but no success. Could it be because the homeopath needs to also look at the "orgasm of blood" rubrics in her case?

Can anyone think of any circumstances that one might look at these rubrics when anxiety is not concurrent?

Thanks for your help.

fever...menopause...migraine...
it's just when blood moves to one part of the body. the modern usage of the term 'orgasm' is just a particular kind of orgasm of blood - to the sexual organs.

Thanks Anna

I have a much better understanding now. I had forgotten that my friend with the anxiety attacks would also get intense migraines during the attacks. Back to the MM's for reread.

Thanks everyone

I think in situations where it is always associated with anxiety, it could be understood as a panic attack. But I didn't mean to imply it only occured as such. It could be the result of a hormonal imbalance, circulation problems, or acute self-consciousness [img]redface.gif[/img]
Have a look in Chronic Diseases in the Sepia proving from Symptom Number 1090 to 1095.
*Ebullition and rush of blood to the chest, as if spitting of blood would ensue.
*Ebullition, like clucking, in the left side of the chest.
*Beating in the scrobiculus cordis, in the morning, then ebullition in the chest, like palpitation, then burning heat in the face and body, without any externally noticeable heat and redness, and without thirst, but with some perspiration.

I'm not sure if I'm being technically correct here but I take this word "ebullition" as that sort of full congested feeling caused by a rush of blood. Maybe someone who knows better or has Yasgur's Dictionary could confirm or correct this.

Chris

Thanks Chris

from Yasgurs
ebullition: effervescence. A boiling or bubbling up, such as when blood rushes to the face or hot flashes.
