Woman crying blood from her eyes instead of tears
Woman crying blood out of her eyes instead of tears.
A WOMAN in India has been diagnosed with an extremely rare condition that causes her to sweat BLOOD.
Geeta, 21, lives in the Saharsa district in the East Indian state of Bihar and suffers from Hematohidrosis - a disease that affects just one in 10 million people.
Her husband left her last year because of the condition - he thought she was a witch when she suddenly started bleeding from her eyes.
According to a study published in the Indian Journal of Hematology, the condition causes the many blood vessels that surround the sweat gland to constrict or narrow when under stress.
As the anxiety increases, the blood vessels dilate to the point of rupture.
The blood then goes into the sweat glands, which push the blood - along with the sweat - to the surface, appearing as droplets of blood mixed with sweat.
Geeta's condition is so rare that many people, including doctors, do not know about it.
Her father, a poor labourer, says that all his dreams for his daughter, who has a Bachelor's degree, have been shattered as her condition worsens every day.
He added that blood has started to come out from other parts of her body as well and say he and Geeta's mother are "afraid and helpless".
Dr Vinayak Kumar Singh, the CMO of the Sadar hospital found that surprisingly, her blood cell count and blood clotting functions were normal.
