Hello everyone! I'm from India, Asia. I'm 17 years old & I'm pretty sure that I'm a POIS victim. The most interesting part is that POIS is very popular disease in our country. The terminology differs but all the symptoms are exactly same as POIS. In our country, it's called 'dhat syndrome' and it's considered as culture-bound syndrome. In India, you'll see thousands and thousands of fraudulent doctors / quacks claiming to treat 'dhat syndrome'. But they actually lie & get paid for nothing. You can easily find their fake advertisements on the internet. And, real doctors here believe that dhat (POIS) doesn't exist. They will just ignore it (I think most doctors worldwide do so). Anyways, my story begins here. I started masturbating when I was 14 (or 15 maybe). Then, I started having severe acne, back pain, extreme physical weakness, premature ejaculation and so on. I used to get those symptoms immediately after ejaculation & they would last for about 1 week or so. I thought of quitting masturbation & died trying. Finally, I was able to reduce the frequency of masturbation. Hence, symptoms were becoming less intense. Unfortunately, I started having nocturnal emission & that almost changed my life. :'-( I hardly masturbate nowadays (I also joined reddit's nofap community but that doesn't make sense because I still ejaculate while sleeping). Regardless of how I ejaculate, I always get POIS symptoms. I used to have 2-3 wet dreams/week before but now it occurs everyday. After waking up, I feel extremely fatigued/exhausted. I probably have all symptoms that a POIS victim should have (like fatigue, acne, muscle pain, dizziness, lack of concentration, premature ejaculation etc). Nocturnal emissions are unstoppable & controlling them probably needs some superpower! I usually spend my whole day lying on the bed. I get no energy during the day (I get little energy at night & that lasts for around 2-3 hours). I have completely changed, have difficulties talking to people, became introverted, lazy & numb. Lost every enjoyable thing of my life. No motivation, no willpower, totally out of focus. I've become very poor in studies (actually, I get no energy to study during the day). Once, I had to seek help from a quack. I also tried homeopathy (hope, you know about it. It's popular worldwide). Everything was in vain. Since past 6 months, condition has actually been worsening. Sometimes, I get suicidal thoughts too (I'm half dead though
). I feel so envious seeing everyone around. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. I feel so broken when my closest ones doesn't understand me. I'm done!!
Anyways, I'm glad enough to find this community. It drives my loneliness away a bit. At least, I got to know that I'm not alone.
Please guys, please help me out. I can confirm that I have POIS. I want to start my own research. Will do every possible experiment to find out the cure. Please help me regarding this. This community is my last hope.
Thanks.
