Hey Guys.. I have been reading the forum for awhile and been suffering from POIS... I want to share my story.. maybe too soon but this is my first week feeling normal even after my O's. I feel like I am in another world. I am not sure if this will help everyone but after going to about 10 Urologist, I recently went to the best one in New York and it's been incredible so far. I am a business owner... In shape 32 year old male.. About a year ago I feel like I was sucker punched in the testicals. Every time I ejaculated the same feelings would hit me... Nauseous..Brain was in a fog... Inner legs hurt and depression/anxiety set in. It took me to a very dark place. I was desperate. Every doctor I went to looked at me and thought I was nuts. Some doctors don't even know what POIS is which was surprising... My last doctor looked at my lifestyle. I have never been asked how I live my life by any doctor. After 50 questions we came to the conclusion..... I am straining my testicals. I have had every since test under the sun and everything came back negative. BUT I never looked at my day to day lifestyle. I know this may not work for all but it is very important to look into. As crazy as this sounds... I always push my stool out. I never just let it flow out which seems to be a big culprit with also my working out. I need to stop "PUSHING" ALSO.. Right after the pain started... and after the first 2 months it would go away.. Anxeity played a HUGE role on my mental/physical health. This is the first time I actually realized the mind can do some SERIOUS damage to the body. Some may not believe this but for my life it was banging up my body pretty bad. The craziest thing is it was all subconscience. I don't even know how to even explain this. All I can say is I am a normal guy and never had any mental issues in the past. SO... This is what my doctor told me to do. This has been a life changer so far...1. STOP PUSHING... Whatever it is... Just STOP2. Two hot baths a day with some epson salt3. Flaxseed Oil 3x a day4. Valium 2mg 3x a day (This has helped alot with the stress and the sleeping)I know this may not work for all.. Some may think I am nuts... But if this helps one person it was worth it. Good luck everyone and I will give updates (since this is still very early) Mike
Right now I feel no pain in the groin are.. mind is CLEAR.. ... Leg pain.. very slight. Nothing like I had before. Last O was yesterday morning..
I did the test Herman ask me to do : Free T3 : 2,72 RV : 1,70-3,70Free T4 : 14,20 RV : 4,10-18,5TSH : 0,740 RV : 0,350 - 4,94Potassium : 4,3nmol/l RV : 3,5-5,1Sodium : 138nmol/l RV : 136-145Chlore : 101nmol/l RV : 98-107iron serum : 101ug/de RV 60-160Ferritin : 101,6ng/ml RV : 21,8-274Calcium : 2,58nmol/l RV : 2,10-2,55Magnesium : 20mg/l RV : 16-26I'm waiting for ceruloplasmin that i'll get in a week.From what I see, everything is pretty normal especially thyroid.The only thing that could show something is Calcium, but not much high ; High calcium is apparently hyperparathyroidy in most of the case ; The symtoms of that perfectly match with POIS especially mentals one.I did suplement Vit D but not that much and not for long time so I dont' think high calcium come from that.Any comments ?
My POIS is not as bad as what others describe but still very annoying. I switched coffee with green tea the other day and two days alter I noticed that my ED is not anywhere near as bad ever since (libido still low, orgasms still weak). Also: I had a green tea right after POIS hit me the other day and my symptoms went down to 40-50% right away. Fenugreek used to help me (accidentally stumbled when looking for ways to improve libido.)
- Watch your symptoms: do you feel more energetic in the evening rather than when you wake-up? Do you tend to drag yourself for the first part of the day? Do you feel sleepy after eating? Do you have sleep problems? Do you alternate feeling of being cold (which you can't tolerate) to being warm?
