I understand, but to me your surgeries proved without a doubt that all 3 organs are involved not just just one. The medication and supplements helps to prove that a reduction in the prostate helps, but this is not as concrete of a proof in which way it helps. Why do you think that you need the supplement if you have medication to reduce it? Why isn?t the supplement enough. With the prostate that was surgically reduced why wasn?t the surgery enough? Could there be other elements to the medication or the supplements besides reduction.
As you said multiple times, the surgery is an expensive and very invasive solution. Also because the forum has been able to unearth seemingly multiple sub-types, it is difficult to know if the surgery would help everyone. For example some have been greatly helped by testosterone therapy. Would surgery make that worse? Maybe not but maybe. So I do think we need a 100% greater target if we hope to avoid surgery.
Looking at other people?s experiments over the years, to me I see most people being helped with vasodilation before orgasm. So if regeneration is the issue, how is that helping? I don?t see anything wrong with members experimenting with regeneration and semen volume reduction if we could find doctors whiling to prescribe and monitor us. In Dysautonomia we have such a doctor. Dysautonomia is basically a Peripheral Nervous system disease so if should fall under neurology but it can affect heart rate and blood pressure so this Cardiologist got involved with it (his daughter has it) and he basically sees hundreds of patients and virtually tested dozens of off label medications for it. Literally no other doctor in the world tested so many different meds and treatments of dysautonomia patients. So we really just need a few of these doctors. I tried to contact a few but the ones somewhat interested have their own theories on what causes POIS and I didn?t find that they were open for such experiments. It would help if we could have an animal model but there isn?t a way to do that yet since we have no tests to ensure a mouse would have POIS..
Disaster,
I'm excited that you are in agreement about the 3 organs contributing to POIS. That is a major point I was trying to communicate, and it's very gratifying to hear that you agree...
Thank you again for reviving this thread. I'll always respond to enquiries here.
The Surgeries actually were not that expensive, now that I think of it in the scheme of things.
They cost about the price of a cheap used car!.,.. and if you consider the lifetime benefits I've received as a result, it's practically nothing. I think I spent a total of $5,000-7,000 on the surgeries. And that's incredibly cheap considering medical costs these days.
So I don't think COST is the major barrier, really... What is really really important is to go about it properly, with patience, and with trusted consultation, to Minimize any RISKS, and never rush. I took 3-4 years chipping away at this process, and took baby steps all along the way.
I think for those who are really suffering Debilitating life threatening POIS symptoms, and really are looking at an end to their lives, careers, relationships, and happiness as they know it.... surgery may be a really good alternative. It might just give you a Second Lease on Life, as it did for me. Now, I've never said that before on this site, because we're not supposed to endorse any invasive medical solutions, that are "unapproved"... but I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that: I Promise, I will do everything I can to help anyone interested in pursuing the same course of action that I took 10 years ago.
I took copious notes, and documented my journey, and still have all my records, (mostly) and medical contacts. All of them. Most importantly, I Know the Dangers, Pitfalls, and RISKS to WATCH OUT FOR. And they do exist. The surgeries need to be done in a particular order, and also not all at once. Very very important.
Just let me know, and I can send you more info as to how to go about doing it...
