“Shocking Truth Revealed: Do Women in Comas Still Experience Monthly Cycles?”
- The question went viral with more than 24 million views.

- Dr. Zeon explained that certain bodily functions do not require consciousness.
- An associated question also went viral, centering around men getting erections while under anesthesia.
“In most cases, menstruation stops during a coma due to changes in the body’s normal functions,” a user stated, only to be proven wrong when Otis Zeon, a Los Angeles physician hailing from South Africa, gave his expert opinion on the matter.
“Menstruation is not controlled by level of consciousness – so they will still get it,” he said. “Also, keep in mind that because the cycle is regular, they can still get pregnant.”

Zeon was caught off-guard by the question’s virality. “I didn’t see this going viral—mommy, I’m famous,” he joked. His initial response received more than 32,000 likes.
“But on a serious note, it’s shocking to me to see how shocked people are,” the doctor said after confirming that yes, women will still menstruate. At the same time, even in a coma, their bodies, while unresponsive, continue many biological processes that don’t require conscious thought.
