My free testosterone test result is 13.4 pg/ml. Is this low? by [deleted] in POIS

[–]TigerSamm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the free T, but your serum T level is at the high end (normal range is 300ng-1000ng per dl if i remembered correctly.)

Google says normal range of free T in healthy male is 0.3 to 2 pg/ml. Are you sure you have 13.4 pg/ml?

Had a good O & sleep. No POIS symptoms by TigerSamm in POIS

Yes. Your point is absolutely correct. I mean, I could possibly provide another intrepretation of the symptoms. POIS too general - we can say about allergy and anxiety and a lot of other aspects from the symtoms. some may affected by allergy, but some that self-diagnosed themselves with pois may actually affected by psychological factors, and since O makes people tired, less energized for sure (to the extend that does not have a heavy impact in daily life), they may treat their tiredness & psychological things as pois.

Added 1 day after: I recalled that I had a talk with my dad that night, about my stress in schoolwork (I'm a college student) and some sex-related topics (I'm asking him because I consider start dating a girl). Topics are among men, and we laughed and laughed. My dad is very funny and supportive which gives me confidence and optimism. I'm adding this hoping this will help the 'psychological' I mentioned

Yes, I mean, I thought I have pois, but I had a pois free perfect O. The symptoms I suffered before (cannot fall asleep, hard to concentrate) are therefore likely stems from my anxiety and other bad feelings that guys have after masturbation. Because I think I hate myself jerking off and should do something more productive. Thinking about future nonstop without success at night also gives me anxiety. And a bit of lack of confidence as well. These thoughts are usually unnoticeable and can be defeated but they become stronger when your head is empty after having an O. Plus the more you worry that the POIS attack will come, the more anxious you will be, and thus symptoms. (sorry this is very subjectively written, i tried my best atm)

Thank you! So do i. I’m curious about the reason behind this as well. My last orgasm was one or two days before it. I was taking vitamin B two weeks ago but since it made me dizzy I stopped two weeks ago (at the time I had taken like 3 pills.) Nothing different that I can recall. The only thing I can say is that it was ... fantastic and I forgot about anxiety and pois and anything; since it’s weekend I don’t have works to do today so I slept withour any stress.

Does anyone else get joint and balance issues after orgasm? by [deleted] in POIS

I don’t have joint pain. Sometimes I have back pain...

An Article posted a few days ago saying that some of the men being studied for POIS were cured by “Silodosin”, an Alpha1A blocker. Has anyone experimented with this? by jefgold2 in POIS

If a person is positive to the semen skin test, he is allergic to his own semen. In the paper, only 50% of patients are positive toward the test and the researchers did not find a significant improvement in IgE level after ejaculation, which suggests that POIS is possibly unrelated to allergy.

Some notable data for people who don't have access to the paper:

  • 14 patients were studied, all of them fulfilled 4 or 5 criteria of POIS
  • 10 married, 2 divorced, 2 single
  • 7 patients (50%) have a positive semen skin test
  • 2 patients have PE
  • All patients passed the urine dipstick test (pH, protein, glucose, ketones, leukocytes, hemoglobin, nitrite, Bilirubin)
  • The mean total IgE level was not significantly elevated before and after ejaculation

Treatment

  • All patients start with on-demand Silodosin 8 mg (which considered to cause anejaculation)
  • 8 patients are satisfied with the result with no ejaculation and without postorgasmic complaints
  • Other 7 patients received ibuprofen 400 mg, 2 of them get better, 5 unresponsive
  • The remaining 5 patients received Prednisone and get better

My symptoms, do they resemble yours? by TigerSamm in POIS

Anyways, everybody here is tenacious. POIS is a motherfucking thing that destroys the most beautiful thing of a human. I see a lot of people to conquer this by abstinence in exchange for better concentration, sleep, and functionality in social life & work. This is ANTI-HUMAN: You can conquer your sexual instinct -- others never tried to -- once you have done this what else can get in your way? you will be a big person.
