Why does love hurts (scientific explanation)?

Answer 1

Scientific? Okay...
4π*10^-7Hm^-1* (9.274*10^-24Am^2) + 5.051*10^-27Am^2=
Hurty love.

Actually, love doesn't hurt. It's the lack of it that hurts.

Answer 2

When you fall in love, it opens an emotional hole that goes deep into your very being. That hole is a deep need that can only be satisfied by the person that set your feelings off. It hurts both because it is exercising new, unused emotional muscles, and because it causes an aching that must be answered by a mutual aching
heart. Unanswered physical love can hurt worse and worse until it is finally answered or goes away.
This love triggers a chain reaction of physical effects in your body. That prepares it to become one, with another.

Answer 3

love hurts because when humans are attached or focus on one thing so much it creates serotin and when love leaves it causes serotin in your brain to go down and that causes unease and even depression
hormones are affected greatly by this too, as all living beings have hormones that cause them to want to mate ( or love in a way) and when a hormone drops all of a sudden it can cause emotional and physical damage

Answer 4

being in love can secrete harmones like adrenaline. the brains are always in an anxious and occupied state. in case of love, there is a fear of unknown always sitting at the corner in the mind .this is abnormal to the body functioning. too much secretion of harmones can lead to anxiety and stress. in case love affair vanishes, new depressive harmones are secreted in the body. which can cause symptoms like palpitations, anxiety, stress too. so love hurts and withdrawl also hurts.

Answer 5

Love? well the ability to feel emotion is one thing, which plays a major part in "love". Lets say you meet a guy, and you finally find that this is the only guy that you are able to talk to without holding back, or thinking much about what you say if its going to offend him or an expectation of his supposed response, instead you talk to him like you talk to your best friend, and you have little or no regrets about what he thinks, because his reaction and his replies to what you say and do reflects greatly on what you expect him to do, its like he is meant for you. Through this relationship you experience various forms of emotion, based on the events that occur around you for the brain to function and send messages to your body which reacts to a specific thing that happens.
Like the time something happens which means alot to you, like youre a your graduation, and you heard one of your family member got into an accident, this evokes an emotion in your thoughts which if the family member has a place within your heart and means alot to you, automatically you will respond by circulating thoughts relating to him/her that supposely take your attention away from your graduation ceremony, and you worry about him/her.
This is same as love, as whatever happens which draws your emotions together in a way that you expect things to happen the way they are, but usually they do not, so you feel negatively, if it does, then you feel positively, this form of +/- emotions is connected to one's response to anything that is connected and or related to you. Love hurts? well lets say a boy has hurt you in a way and you most without a thought will feel bad, and the emotions you experiences reflects on your behaviour, the things you do, the music you listen to, way you talk, respond to people, always thinking what went wrong, etc. Basically anything and everything while you are in a state of particular feeling, you seem to draw anything within a radius of range that is comfortable for you which expresses how you feel and sort of radiates an aura of how you feel, like holding a sign saying "i feel sad" letting others know.
This and everything and anything that happens has a reason, and its in our dna, in our genes for behaviour and reactions to certain things, kinda like protocol, if something happens you do this and that, and you recover from the bad experience etc, but you do not seem to forget it, you just worry less about it, because sooner or later something else, another thought or event that makes your brain process its information for you to focus your attention to that particular thing, sort of like a priority list, which comes first and last, and eventually after a while of unknowingly not worrying about the bad experience, when you bring it up again it seems less serious, and you do not seem to be addicted to thinking about it much anymore, but there are exceptions, different people have different level of reaction and state of mind to a particular event, and it also depends on the degree of the incident, which might be something that you will remember for a month, or for a life time, its different for everyone. Your physical environment also plays a strong role in this, your living environment, your family, friends, how they react to you, your living condition, this is a rough idea about why love hurts, but not directly talking about love hurts, just something that might help you understand what it is about.

Answer 6

I found this article for you:

"As real as it is to those of us who have had to put up with a broken heart, there is unfortunately no scientific explanation for this elusive phenomenon.
A search in the Medline database results in no relevant study documenting any physiological basis for this condition. PsycInfo likewise has nothing that addresses the topic. Typing the word "heartache" in the U of T library catalogue results in hits that are either song titles or works of fiction.
The department of physiology was contacted with the hope that somebody would at least have an incomplete answer to show there is someone out there trying to find one. "This is no man's land" was the response from a sympathetic faculty member. He suggested getting in touch with people in the department of psychology.
Out of the several researchers contacted, only one-Professor Keith Oatley, who studies the psychology of fiction-could comment on the subject. "When we experience psychological torment, we describe it in various ways."
We do feel bodily changes that accompany various emotional states, he says, like changes in breathing rate or churning in the gut. However, he is skeptical of the usage of the term "heartache" as a scientific term, and prefers to think of it as a metaphor for the emotions involved, comparing it to our use of phrases like "being homesick," "having a gut feeling" and "being rigid with anxiety."
Dr. Uli Schimmack from UTM-with research interests in happiness and subjective well-being-admits that he has never come across the term "heartache" in his scientific studies, but cited a passage from a book he happened to be reading, Well-Being: The Foundations of Hedonic Psychology: "Health research finds that being divorced or separated has a great effect on rates of death from heart disease in particular, as well as a range of other illnesses; it literally produces broken hearts."
According to Dr. James Lynch, author of The Broken Heart: The Medical Consequences of Loneliness, the presence of a companion helps suppress fear and physical pain, as well as reduce the "wear and tear" on the heart that occurs under stress and chronic anxiety.
He mentions the story of Antiochus, the dangerously ill son of the Syrian King Seleucus I (312-280 B.C.). Physician Erasistratus, head of the medical school at Alexandria and tending to Antiochus at the time, noticed that his patient's pulse rate changed whenever his stepmother Stratonice, the lady of his affections, walked into the room. Only marriage "cured" him in the end.
It has been suggested that the love of a spouse acts as a buffer against the harmful effects of factors such as high cholesterol levels, blood pressure, anxiety, and stress. In Love and Survival: The Scientific Basis for the Healing Power of Intimacy, author Dr. Dean Ornish cites research that shows the love and support of a wife reduces the risk of angina pectoris-chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease. Chest pain is worst among men with anxiety and family problems, especially conflicts with their wives and children.
But none of these studies directly address the phenomenon of heartache. A story reported in CBC news on-line last October might provide a slightly more relevant clue. Titled "Heartbreaks hurt like headaches," the article describes a study that suggests any type of social exclusion-from a divorce to being turned down for a date-can be physically painful. Led by social psychology researcher Naomi Eisenberger of UCLA, the study involved putting subjects into a game where they get rejected. When that happens, neural activity increases in a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), just as it does when we experience physical pain. Eisenberger suggests this may be a defence mechanism-once we have encountered sources of pain, we learn to avoid it in the future.
So what is heartache and where does it come from, scientifically speaking? An answer has yet to be found"

So, no explanation available!

Answer 7

Love hurts because it also makes you happy. Anything that makes you happy upon knowing that you have it also hurts you when you no longer have it unexpectedly.

Answer 8

because of unconditional feelings you have for the person and absolute acceptance
