In the medical literature, the condition is called POIS – post-orgasmic morbidity syndrome, which was described in only sixty cases. However, according to the estimates, this is a much wider phenomenon, that tens of thousands around the world may suffer from it, and do not link the symptoms to sexual relations. Now the researchers from the hospital in Saint Cloud in France are conducting a study that will try to trace the frequency of the phenomenon and its causes.
First reported in 2002, sufferers of POIS describe generalized muscle pain, fatigue, weakness, sweating, burning and redness of the eyes, runny nose, headaches, fatigue, and weakness. The phenomenon is more common between the ages of 40 and 50, but it can happen to many people from the beginning of their sexual life. In most cases, the phenomenon passes after a day or two, but it may also last for weeks.
There are several hypotheses for the origin of the disease. One of them is that the source of the problem is some kind of short circuit in the brain, according to a woman who experienced such symptoms and these improved following an anti-epileptic drug. Another hypothesis holds that it may be a decrease in the level of endorphin hormones secreted during orgasm. Other opinions hold that it may be of mental origin, anxiety around sex, or personality characteristics. None of the hypotheses have yet been scientifically proven.
The treatment tried in such cases by experts in sex medicine include advanced painkillers such as Lyrica and Cymbalta, anti-anxiety drugs such as Wellbutrin or Faboxil, and some also try treatment aimed at possible inflammation of the prostate gland. The treatment is combined with sexual counseling as part of a sexual health clinic.
“The phenomenon of allergy to orgasm has been known for several years and is relatively rare,” says Prof. Rafi Harouti, an expert in rehabilitation and sexual medicine. of the symptoms may raise more awareness, encourage more diagnoses that may lead to successful treatment.”
“In the meantime, I recommend that men and women who have experienced flu-like symptoms after orgasm, such as fatigue, mild fever, exhaustion, headache, nasal congestion, etc., which last for hours or even days, consult a sex medicine specialist,” he said.
