Believe it or not, a woman lost ten years worth of memory due to constipation. In a bizarre development of events, a woman in Hong Kong suffered temporary amnesia which wiped out her memory of an entire decade. The reason behind it? She pushed a little too hard in a quiet toilet corner, reported a Chinese newspaper. Following this, she suffered a mental blackout.
Her amnesia lasted for about 8 hours and she was alright after a night in the hospital, according to media reports. When she woke up, she had no memory of the previous day. The same report quotes a doctor who calls this condition transient global amnesia. The condition entails disrupted blood flow and oxygen to the brain through the jugular vein valve.
