I suffer from facial puffiness/swelling, loss of skin glow, grayish skin, bags under eyes, dark eye circles, and straw-like hair for 2-3 weeks after O. I?m wondering what could be the mechanism that?s causing this, is it inflammation and if so how can I reverse it? I also have the usual brain fog and fatigue of course, and these symptoms last 2-3 weeks or longer. I?m beginning to think I have a leaky gut that is causing inflammation in my face and body. I have some really bad indigestion and bloating in the weeks following orgasm.
