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.

Progesterone lotion/cream?I'm 28 (male) and I've suffered from the symptoms mentioned in this forum for quite some time now (3-4 years). Having read about the successful use of progesterone I've been looking into ways of increasing my progesterone levels. Apart from prescription drugs, there's a variety of progesterone lotions or creams, marketed mainly for women. Has anyone tried any of these? And if so, how much would one need to apply to experience any difference?Any info anyone has on this topic would be very much appreciated.P.S. I recently ordered a tube of progesterone lotion and will give it a try when it arrives. Will post if it makes a difference.

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.
Reply from Dr Rajfer's assistantI will write Linda back and ask her to please give us another researcher to contact -- demo
2nd test with fish and I feel good. Placebo ? we'll see.

At least this doctor answered. I sent a few emails to researchers this year and had no reply. They're probably all busy with something else (if my emails were not blocked) so it can be good to contact directors who can decide what to search for.
I hope one day we'll have a group of POIS sufferers located near the same town who will be able to visit the same doctor (that's what happened with Dr Waldinger).

If anyone reading lives in Colorado I can recommend a primary care doctor that will treat POIS. Please PM me.
