New Theories / Re: Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)

« on: 14/01/2020 13:06:27 »

Hi everyone,

sorry in advance for my messy english, Im in my first day of post-orgasm condition and my brain is in off-mode now..

I would like to ask for your advice. How do you find life power to live every day with your problem? What do you do? What is your solution?

I'm a woman, 37 y.o. For 15 yers I have POIS like symptoms after orgarm. Several years ago I decided to stop having orgarm..so I could live for some time without this awuful post-orgasmic condition.. But 2 years ago my life started to be out of my control.. because since then an orgasm has come involuntary during my sleep. Its unpedictable for me when it comes in a sleep next time..I perceive it not like a pleasure in my dream, but like a nightmare.. Somethimes it happens  only ones in 14 days, but sometimes up to 2 times a week. I recover from it for 3-4 days as a rule. So on a week when it comes twice, I have only 1 day "hangover" free...  So I cant work, I  cant built normal social relationships... Im afraid, I dont have enough life power to raise my 2 years old child..

Thanks a lot for any advice.

Wishing you all many healthy and happy days

Best wishes from Germany,
Tanya

Hi Tatyana. I see you seem to have acquired POIS around age 22. A bit later than puberty. Can you remember anything that happened to your life around that time that you suspect may have triggered it?
Does it make any difference for you if its sex or masturbation? I assume it doesn't. For many here it is worse with the latter. I thought there have been a few stories of women being allergic to their husbands semen.
How many days does it take for you to recover?
Has it got worse or better for you over the decade?

From the posts I have read on and off over the last 3 years, I have not seen any mention of a hereditary factor. I suspect many guys here are embarrassed by the condition and have keep quiet about it with their friends let alone discussed the condition (which did not have a name until a few yrs ago) with their parents. Mine thought I ended up with chronic fatigue syndrome (which I probably did at one stage) but early on they thought I was just lazy. Personally I suspect there is a hereditary element,,,not that any offspring will necessarily acquire it for sure, but just that there is a genetic weakness in the dna that makes us susceptible. (just my theory)

Dear acronym,

thank you very much for your reply, which I really appreciate!

My assumption is, that my problems started because I was too stressed back then (I graduated from the University and after that I was looking for the job).

I try to think positive and hope for the best regarding my future children. Thank you for sharing with me your ideas on that topic, this helped me a lot.

Best regards,
Tatyana

Physiology & Medicine / Re: What about the women who have Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)?

« on: 24/01/2015 12:31:03 »

Hello,

I am a 32-year old girl from Ukraine, living in Germany. I have the symptoms described throughout this thread for about 10 years, and I understand they are most commonly described and researched for men. Until very recently I was not aware that other people also suffer from this and there is actually a name for it.

Years ago I underwent some tests and analysis related to my symptoms in Ukraine, but nothing helpful was found.

I was wondering if anybody knows about research or doctors focusing on women suffering from POIS?

Specifically I also wanted to ask if there is any information available on whether POIS is likely to be inherited? My husband and I are planning to have children and this causes great concern to me.

Many thanks to everybody who has contributed to this thread so far and provided valuable information. I would appreciate any advice concerning my situation.

Tatyana
