Daniel,

I think it happens  when there is  sperm in the urine.  May be that is what he meant.   When you pee , sperm comes out.   
If that happened to him, he needs to go to a doctor and get it treated  .. Usually this is  the result of severe overmasturbation.

I only get allergy and it converts to cold or cough after sometime after masturbation or night fall.Also problem is sneezing continously for 20-25 times or even more , no other problem is this POIS.


i get cold that is in the form of allergy (that is running nose and sneezing) almost after masturbation or even if i get night fall.
I am 100 % sure about it , if i dont do masturbation for say 7 - 10 days then i dont get cold (allergy that is running nose and sneezing) for that period of time .
Sneezing continously for 20-25 times is too much to handle for me .
Allergy last for 2-3 days if i dont take any medicine .
so i take anti allergy drug and get relive many times. is there any cure for it that is permanent .
i do heavy weight training everyday 7 days a week and i think this way i get some relive and i am fit and i dont get tried after doing workouts .
mine age is 29 years and i never involved in sex till now .
i want to ask if i get married and do sex then also will i get same
thing, if yes that will be a problem as i cant do much in a week.
Is there name for this disease or what it is called .

Hi,
Welcome to the board.

You may have POIS or Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome. POIS, as we understand it, is a syndrome that affects some people after they have an orgasm by making them feel ill. However, different sufferers have different symptoms. Some have mainly headaches and cognitive problems. Some have more flu-like symptoms. Some feel more fatigue than others.
It may not be a single disease and therefore there may not be a single cure.

As your symptoms are mostly allergic, have you been to your doctor to discuss allergies?
Your doctor may be able to refer you to a specific allergic or immunologist who can
1) perform tests
2) prescribe medication that may help you deal with itching, sinus problems etc.

i dont get any itching , what is sinus , i get only allergy which converts into cough or cold after some days. yes i do take allergy tablet and sometimes it works but sometimes not
thanks

What allergy tablets are you taking?
Doctors sometimes prescribe ketotifen or  leukotriene receptor antagonists for allergies when anti-histamines don't work effectively. I'd give you brand names but these are now "blacklisted terms" of the forum.
Ask your doctor about it? If they don't know then perhaps they could refer you to a specialist.

i take different types of tablets as in few weeks it dont works any more,  and that tablet is difficult to get as medical store person tells we cant give as this cause sleepiness after taking but asking him again and again they give the tablet.
thanks

I've taken a mast cell stabiliser that did not make me drowsy. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about this. They're prescription only.

I've been taking a highly bio-active B-Complex once a night for the past 24 days. 7 days into b-complex I started 500mg of acetyl-L-carnitine morning and night for 13 days. About 4 days after I started ALC I noticed an improvement in my joint pain, muscle strength, eye burning, face irritation, scalp itchiness, and perhaps cognition.

I also took 500mg methionine once a morning for 6 days starting at day 7 of B-complex/ALC, but it seemed to cause a slight worsening of symptoms.

For the past 4 days I've only been taking B-complex to determine whether it or ALC or both were improving my symptoms. I still feel improved symptoms, but it might be a residual effect of the ALC.

This is the B-complex I'm using: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-ultra-activated-b-complex-high-bioavailability-60-caps

Thiamin (vitamin B-1)                              54.4 mg   3,627%
(as benfotiamine)                                     
Riboflavin (as riboflavin 5'-phosphate)       50 mg   2,941%
Niacin (as inositol hexanicotinate)              100 mg   500%
Vitamin B-6
(as pyridoxal 5-phosphate)                       50 mg   2,500%
Folate                                                   800 mcg   200%
(as Quatrefolic? [6S]-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid equivalent to 1.6 mg of [6S]-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt)
Vitamin B-12                                           500 mcg   8,333%
(as methylcobalamin)
Biotin                                                      50 mcg   17%
Choline                                                   50 mg   *
(as choline dihydrogen citrate)
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid)               50 mg   *
Pantethine (coenzyme A precursor)           50 mg   *
(from Pantesin? 80% pantethine)
Inositol                                                   25 mg   *
(from inositol hexanicotinate)

After analyzing my diet I noticed it looked low in b vitamins. This is the site I used to determine this: http://nutritiondata.self.com/

As the body uses methylcobalamin (methylated via methyfolate) to recycle methionine from homocysteine, adding more methionine may actually reduce the body's production of its own methionine which may lead to build up of the folic acid you take. Many biological reactions are rate limited, meaning in this case that the presence of SAM-e downstream from methionine you don't make yourself could rate limit the methylation process. I suspect this is a big problem with people taking SAM-e. They feel better as their bodies aren't getting enough SAM-e but they're throwing their bodies out of whack by not giving their bodies the enzymes to make SAM-e effectively themselves.

My genetic test suggested I needed methylfolate and methylcobalamin. Perhaps some extra NADH to help recycle BH4. I gave up taking taking methionine supplements.

Vincent M: No, for the same reason. The methionine cycle is explained here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Adenosyl_methionine

I think that depending on someone's genetics, they may feel better when they take methionine or SAM-e. If so I believe a better way to achieve the same improvement is to look a few steps prior to this in the methylation cycle and to supplement methylfolate and methylcobalamin.
It may be better to give the body more control over the amount of SAM-e it produces rather than force feeding exogenous SAM-e. I haven't seen studies to prove this but I wonder if those who benefit from SAM-e for depression relief may be the same group as those who benefit from methylfolate or methylcobalamin.
The key may be methyl-donation and its role in the management of inflammation and creation of neurotransmitters.
Just some thoughts...

I'm currently following in the old footsteps of girlwind, michael8028 and a few others on the track of an adrenal and thyroid hypothesis.  Herman helped show me, from the labs I sent him, that my Cortisol is low and that I'm Hypothyroid.  I also sent my labs to Valerie Taylor, the creator of this website: http://adrenalsweb.org/   She went through my labs and said that she also believes that I'm hypothyroid and have adrenal insufficiency. 

From my numbers, there's a lot of information online to support that this may be true, but no scientific studies to confirm it.  I'm currently sending my labs around to a couple endocrinologists to see if any agree with this hypothesis.  Unfortunately, most of my metrics are still within their respective ranges, so despite what seems like a lot of evidence to me, the avg Endo is sure to dismiss there's anything wrong.   

That's all I've got, but I thought it was worthwhile to let ya'll know what I'm up to.  If you have a thyroid panel completed, i recommend contacting Valerie at the website above and getting her thoughts.  She read my labs within just a few minutes over the phone and recommended that i start taking hormone supplements - namely hydrocortisone for the cortisol and T3 for the thyroid.  It's worth noting that these medications aren't to be taken experimentally, because once you start taking them your body will reduce its own production and you may need them for life.  Thus, I'm actively seeking more information now.

Besides Herman's recent suggestions, this forum hasn't discussed Adrenals and Thyroid in a long, long time.  Perhaps someone like B_Jim, Ccconfucius, or another member that's been here a while can chime in with an explanation of why not.

You NEED to go to your doctor. This forum cannot tell you what medicines to take for injury to your testicles. Particularly if you are in pain there could be many reasons including bruising and torsion. Please go to your doctor.

Correction to my post about my b-vitamin trial. I had actually been taking the b-complex 7 days before I started ALC and for 24 days total. I think that was a bit too long to be taking that much once a night since it seemed I was starting to get odd tiny pain flashes in my joints that I previously didn't have. The past 2 days I stopped taking it and this sensation disappeared but my POIS symptoms still are generally improved.

That's odd. You seem to be well within safe levels of b6. Just check again how much you're taking? Methyl-b12 can cause some nerve tingling but that may not be a bad thing in all circumstances as methylcobalamin / methyl-b12 is often used to treat diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage). It seems that neuropathy itself resembles a tingling sensation (initially) while the repair of nerves that were damaged may also trigger an initial "tingling" sensation.

Here's a paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0022510X94902909

Hi,
I don't believe there are no doctors in Pakistan who can treat an injury to the groin.
It doesn't make sense. In any case, we are not licensed to treat you and cannot recommend a medicine.
When you see people discussing medicines and supplements here they're discussing things that worked for them. Nobody is offering treatment (at least they shouldn't be).

If you just want information about such injuries surely you can google "testicular injuries". Some are very serious and require medical treatment by a doctor.
So far, nobody here has suggested a connection between testicular injuries and POIS so it doesn't appear a relevant discussion fr this forum.

Thanks.
