SOME people end up doing some pretty bizarre things while under anaesthetic, research has shown.<\/p>\n

From making sexual comments to kissing doctors, the sedative-hypnotic drugs can warp people's sense of reality. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Others awaken from procedures believing they were sexually assaulted – which is, more often than not, untrue.<\/p>\n

Doctors have long known about the unusual side effects of the\u00a0medicines.<\/p>\n

In fact, a 1984 review found that 18 per cent of people receiving\u00a0anaesthesia during dental or medical operations struggled to\u00a0distinguish reality from fantasy\u00a0during and shortly after administration.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a 1980 study found that around 14 per cent of patients report some\u00a0sexual dreaming or arousal\u00a0while under anaesthesia.<\/p>\n

What is general anaesthetic and what are the some of the side effects?<\/h3>\n

NHS did my C-section without anaesthetic – it felt like a million needles<\/h3>\n

According to pharmacology researchers Melody White and Dr C Michael White from the University of Connecticut, US, these drugs slow the brain down and often lead to sexual thoughts – but experts don't know why.<\/p>\n

Some people act out or touch themselves in a sexual way, which can be uncomfortable for the medic, they explained.<\/p>\n

Or, the patient believes they've been sexually assaulted while sedated and likely goes through the same vivid hallucinations of the event, despite whether it happened or not.<\/p>\n

Both can have a significant real-world impact on patients and providers that last long after the surgery.<\/p>\n

Some medical professionals\u00a0accused of actual or perceived sexual assault have been brought to court and stripped of their license to practice.<\/p>\n

To try and figure out why people are experiencing these dreams, the scientists reviewed all published cases of sexual hallucinations in the medical literature.<\/p>\n

Writing in the Conversation, they said they found a "striking match" between where the surgery or procedure took place and where the patient perceived inappropriate sexual contact.<\/p>\n

"Procedures involving the mouth were perceived as oral sex.<\/p>\n

"Squeezing a ball to make a vein more accessible as squeezing a penis.<\/p>\n

"While chest procedures as breast fondling and groin procedures as vaginal penetration," they explained.<\/p>\n

They also recalled the findings of a 2009 study, which found those more likely to experience sexual hallucinations received higher doses of anaesthetics and were younger than 50 years old.<\/p>\n

There have also been reports of people experiencing similar hallucinations while taking sleeping and anti-anxiety pills like alprazolam and temazepam, which are also sedative-hypnotics.<\/p>\n

They stressed the importance for patients to be aware that abnormal dreaming is a possibility when starting a sedative-hypnotic medication.<\/p>\n
