More abstinence as part of POIS treatment
« on: June 19, 2018, 01:55:13 PM »
The forum is doing great in the pharma/chemical/nutrition world of POIS treatment & investigation.

I opened this thread because I also see great progress in combining more abstinence along with my testosterone treatment.

Please share your experiences :)
10 years of significant POIS-reduction, treatment consisting of daily (365 days/year) testosterone patches.

TRT must be checked out carefully with your doctor due to fertility, cardiac and other risks.

40+ years of severe 4-days-POIS, married, raised a family, started/ran a business

Well abstaining for me as a solution never works; it only means more frustration resulting in a harder relapse.

Thank you, Nas!

Anyone else care to chime in on Abstinence - - as an “ingredient” (NOT a total solution) - -
in solving the POIS puzzle?

Thanks in advance! :)

I?m in - as I am always abstaining for at least 1 month. The longest abstinence was 3,5 months but it doesnt improve my POIS condition. I just hate being in full blown POIS state and abstinence prevents that...

What would be your exact plan beside just abstaining?

If you’re asking me (I’m not really sure :) ), I mentioned my exact plan above, and below in my profile: TRT

Last 3 years on average I have had very low testosterone levels averaging around 5 to 5.5 with the normal range in UK being 8.0 to 30.0. A couple of months before I did abstinence for a month or so and then tested my level and it became 9.8 to my Endo doctor?s disbelief. The doctor couldn?t believe that my testosterone which has been at same level last 3 years had suddenly increased naturally to above the minimum level. I was also feeling a lot better during that month.

Before that I did do abstinence for similar periods but that was just refraining from ejaculation while I did masturbate. That practise did not make any difference to my test levels or how I felt. So total abstinence especially from porn did help me and is something which I am looking to follow now.
33 years old, POIS for around 12 years with increasing severity.
Major symptoms - Severe fatigue, back pain, unrefreshed even after 9+ hours sleep, pain behind eyes, very dry face, bald head with inflamed scalp, digestion issues and constipation. Very low testosterone and high glucose in blood tests

Nas, your reply was so good I texted it to an offline friend/POISer!
