Nauseous About Female Anatomy?

[Russolini]

Whenever I hear about female anatomy, giving birth, inserting/removing an IUD, I get light headed and nauseous.
In high school, we watched the Miracle of Life birth video (the 70’s version) and I fainted while sitting at my desk.
I don’t understand why this is- I’m female, born female, why do I feel like this?

Ok psychology theory time, keep in mind this is one theory among many schools of psychology. This one was best explained in the book “the worm at the core.”


The body, particularly actions it takes that are in common with animals, makes us feel like an animal. Going to the bathroom, body hair, pregnancy/birth etc can become avoidant triggers where our body fights having to accept it/prefers to dissociate from it.


Why? Because animals are subject to death and decay, therefore our brain likes to believe we are unique and separate as a way of avoiding dwelling on our own mortality. It sanitizes it and allows us to feel like we are somehow exempt from their fates. Focusing on something we share in common with animals compromises this psychic armour and makes us face our mortality, so our brain is repulsed by it.


This gets problematic in people with OCD where this brain immune system/psychic armour can get turned up too high for the person to be able to function normally/healthily/effectively in their life. Trauma could also have this effect, particularly if it was a fatality or made the person seriously face their own mortality.

Maybe you have Hemophobia, or also fear and anxiety, blood can evoke fear, especially if associated with injury, pain. Or Emotional response, sympathetic nervous system activation leads to nausea

[Russolini]

I don’t have a fear of blood, it’s a good guess though.

😅You Sound like a Silly Goose😅

It's okay, Something can feel odd..

Sometime our Brain Cannot Comprehend watching things..

Your brain sees something and Your Empathy Triggers , and you See yourself in that place feeling that pain and movement..

Like most people Assume themselves as a Character in Horror Movie which scares them so much..

All that pain and Your Empathy, makes your Brain into a Simulation where it responds to Empathy and you Pass out..

Next time you see such stuff and look at your body and assure your brain, everything is okay with Your Body.. it's just a video..

P. S.. this tell me you don't watch HORROR MOVIE.. but are a sucker for Romantic and Action, Fantasy movies and Also might Enjoy Reading Fiction.. 🤭

Yes, but I'm a medical student, so I've seen cadavers in anatomy class before, and I'm used to it.

Maybe you should seek some help from a professional on the issue.

Eh, it is just your hangup. People get strange ones.
