I had a CAT scan of my testicles today.The radiographer doing the scan said there is a problem with one of the sperm ducts being too narrow on my right one (words to that effect).I then explained how I feel fatigue after orgasm for about 3 days and wondered if there are testosterone or hormonal problems.He said "it looks physical to me" and its something to take further with my doctor.
One of the things that got me to make the connection between non-24 syndrome and pois is that I definitely find it much harder to get up when I am in pois.

The aim is to achieve a minimum of semen production, and dry ejaculation. Is this what you had performed?Hi John,Yes, I did have the seminal vesicles removed by surgery. That was the longer and more challenging operation because they are located deep in the pelvis- but the urologist said he had no trouble doing it. Usually the seminal vesicles are removed at the same time as a full Prostatectomy, I think because they are somehow behind the prostate. So it is less common to remove them independently of the Prostate. I also had a "TURP" which reduced the size of my prostate, while leaving it in place. My prostate was fairly enlarged. This surgery is fairly common for people with BPH, and is effective, and pretty low-risk. As an extra measure, we also cauterized the ejaculatory ducts, which prevents any remaining seminal fluids from leaving the body.Before these operations I took care of the problem of high levels of testosterone- I had enlarged testicles and elevated testosterone. In that process, I ultimately stopped Sperm Production. Also I was able to reduce my Testosterone levels to a healthy level. Testosterone levels vary a lot among individuals, and the "acceptable range" chart is very broad.I found it too broad to be helpful in terms of getting a "right T number", but it could be a vital clue. I think it's a great idea to chart the hormone levels pre- and post O, and get a sense of how much the changes are. Animus,I am curious, did you have your testicles removed?if so, what is it like without any testicles and seminal vesicles?who's idea was it? yours or the doctors?do you think differently, feel different without them?did you need therapy or were pretty philosophical about it all?although im not at all tempted, i am curious.

I now do a weekly self-injection of .35ml Test. enanthate, and I'm super pleased with the results. It is a very easy treatment. I tried the patch, and the gel, but they didn't work so well for me and irritated my skin.
...the discrepancies were low vit d...
I've got an onset of POIS symptoms from a retrograde ejaculation, sorry about the graphic description - I could feel my prostate empty itself and into the bladder, the next time I went to urinate towards the end of my stream of urine for a good 10 seconds my semen was excreted and shortly after that I started to feel really hot then my lower eye lids become very heavy and then the worst ensues, brain fog, lower back pain, stomach pain but the only constellation of this is it'll pass A LOT faster than full blown POIS caused by a voluntary ejaculation.
One thing I am interested in discovering is if retrograde flow is common to all of us.

What were your blood levels for vitd3? Mine was 10.55 ug/l
Hmm so I just found out about a disorder called non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome. Some of the symptoms in that disorder matches up with pois, so I thought it might be possible that pois disrupts our circadian cycle. That’s why most people recover after the cycle is able to reset itself over time, about a week or so. One of the things that got me to make the connection between non-24 syndrome and pois is that I definitely find it much harder to get up when I am in pois.Any thoughts on this?

And for me it brings up the question- why does it take around 7 days to recover from POIS?
