Yemeni woman sweats blood, doctors unsure of ailment
Published in Bikya Masr on 11 - 03 - 2012

SANA'A: Saboora Hassan Fakeih, a young woman from Yemen's Hodeida, who until 6 months ago was perfectly healthy, revealed puzzling symptoms, which so far have left medical professionals flabbergasted, unable to determine what ailments the 20-year-old bride is suffering from.
She told the press that soon after her marriage she started to faint, remaining unconscious for hours on end, adding that her tummy would swell up as if she was pregnant.
When her husband took her to get examined, doctors assured him that all her exams had come back normal, giving her a clean bill of health.
Despite those reassuring claims, Saboora took a turn for the worse over the past few weeks. For some unknown reason, the young woman started to sweat blood and cry little stones. Complaining from acute pain, Saboora is now in great distress, unable to eat or sleep, but more importantly desperately seeking a diagnosis.
Several concerned residents told Bikyamasr.com that they suspected some malicious witchcraft or the intervention of some “devil” as such a thing could not possibly be “normal.”
As it happens, Saboora is not the only person to have ever suffered from such extraordinary symptoms, as scientists in India recorded a similar event with a young girl. However she did not like Saboora complain from pain while crying stones, but her only side effect was the swelling of the eye.
In this case too the medical profession was left wondering.
As for the sweating of blood, such cases have been recorded before with doctors explaining that in time of great stress, blood vessels could dilate so extensively that they would rupture and bleed within the sweat glands, leaving the body to perspire blood.
Saboora is now calling on the international community to extend a helping hand and end her nightmare.
