Medical Video: 💋 WARNING: The Negative Effects of Masturbation
Usually after successfully reaching orgasm, you will immediately feel relaxed and satisfied. However, some people actually feel quite strange symptoms. Suddenly flu-like symptoms appear after orgasm. This unique condition usually appears in men. How can it happen? This is the full review.
POIS, a condition that causes flu symptoms after orgasm
Flu symptoms that appear after men ejaculate are known by the medical term post-orgasm syndrome. In English it is called Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome, abbreviated as POIS. Usually this syndrome appears several minutes to several hours after you ejaculate fluid.
According to various reports, people with this rare syndrome experience a series of symptoms similar to those with flu. Starting from fever, runny nose, body weakness, muscle aches, sweating, itchy eyes, to the loss of short-term memory.
Symptoms of flu after orgasm can occur when you have sex, masturbate, even when you are sleeping. Because, during sleep you may experience wet dreams and ejaculate without realizing it.
Other signs that you have POIS are that these symptoms last for two to seven days. However, you can suddenly heal yourself without seeing a doctor. Also note that from ten ejaculations, nine of them have flu symptoms.
Causes of flu after orgasm
Until now, it has not been found exactly what causes flu after ejaculation. In the past, experts suspected that the cause was an unusual psychological reaction after sex. However, various recent studies reveal that this syndrome can be caused by a male allergic reaction to protein in its own semen.
A study from Utrecht University in the Netherlands conducted an allergy test for study participants who experienced flu symptoms after orgasm. As a result, 88 percent of participants were declared allergic to their own semen.
However, this theory is still being debated. An allergy specialist from New York-Presbyterian Columbia Hospital in the United States, Dr. David Resnick, is one of the experts who denied the theory. According to him, if allergies are the cause, allergic reactions should also occur when the prostate produces semen in the body. In fact, in the case of POIS a new allergic reaction arises when semen is released from the body, which is during ejaculation.
Therefore, at present the most likely cause of POIS that is believed by experts is autoimmune disease. Autoimmune occurs when the immune system attacks your own body. However, further research is still needed to prove it.
What is the effect on fertility?
Because this rare phenomenon was only first recognized in 2002, research that addresses the influence of POIS on fertility is still very limited. However, there have not been reports that POIS caused infertile men.
One challenge that can make people with POIS difficult to have offspring is that you cannot have sex often. You may have to wait until the symptoms subside or heal before you can have sex again.
So, if you experience fertility problems or you suspect you have POIS, you should immediately see a doctor.
