This is exaclty the kind of answer to expect from AI chatbots at this point - they sum up what they can find on the internet.

I did not know about Perplexity - it seems that many new chatbots are out there, now .

Yes, proves your point that medical issues are not ideal candidates.

But “summing up internet finds” as you describe - - is beneficial to me.

It’s here! It all started on February 18th, 2007, when forum member John21 posted at our predecessor forum, the Naked Science Forum’s POIS thread.
https://tinyurl.com/3wpxsa6e

Soon to arrive in 2007 was b_jim, with numerous contributions to aid the progress of POIS Research!

Then forum member Animus arrived, with the
most courageous journey ever in the history of POIS - - he concluded that surgically undergoing self-castration would cure his POIS.

And it did!

Animus, who underwent multiple surgeries so he would stop producing semen- which included oriechtomy (castration), TURP (shrinking the prostate) , and removal of the seminal vesicles. So now he has “dry ejaculation”, and no longer suffers from POIS after orgasm.

The Learning Channel's (TLC) did a feature TV presentation on Animus’ POIS:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6sdaR18vw1s

You can also search “Animus” here at POISCenter or Naked Science Forum for more detailed information. Warning: this is a dangerous procedure, and scientifically unproven beyond the solitary experience of one member, Animus - - surgeons here wouldn’t do it, so he had to fly to India for the operation. At POISCenter, we have also looked at non-surgical ways to facilitate “dry orgasm”, which Animus attributes to his success.

We would all still be there at our old forum today, but the owner of the Naked Science Forum’s POIS thread would not allow us to conduct internal member fundrai$ing for what is now the
NORD/POIS Research Study:
https://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=3006.0

Million thanks, everyone - - old and new - - for making this the #1 forum on the internet for POIS!

I especially want to thank Quantum, my co-administrator, for being tremendously valuable and instrumental in raising greatly the level of scientific accomplishment - - including outreach to the medical community at large - in finding a solution to this misery we all call POIS!

And many, many thanks to our fellow administrators, Limejuice, and Berlin1984 for contributing their time - - and financial resources - - to this great commitment of ours: to stop POIS suffering!

Best wishes everyone for a
Great Future in POIS discovery through forum teamwork!

“Women with Postorgasmic Illness Syndrome: Data From an International Prospective Registry”

Presented at a recent Conference by Olivia Paulsen, our University of Chicago School of Medicine POIS Research Study Coordinator

This data includes information you all provided here. More to come!



Paulsen, O1; Banton, J2; Ikedionwu, I3; Sun, J3; Bronson, I4; Raheem, O5; Pearlman, A6; Duran, MB7; Serefoglu, EC8; Rubin, R9

1 - Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine
2 - New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State University
3 - University of Chicago Biological Sciences Division Pritzker School of Medicine
4 - UMass Chan Medical School
5 - University of Chicago, Department of Urology
6 - Iowa State University, Department of Urology
7 - Pamukkale University, Department of Urology
8 - Biruni University, Department of Urology
9 - Georgetown University, Department of Urology

Introduction:
Postorgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS) describes a debilitating collection of flu-like or allergy-like symptoms experienced post-orgasm. The disorder can be divided into primary or secondary subtypes, and even further into seven clusters. POIS is considered a rare, poorly understood condition that largely affects people with penises.

Objective:
To assess females’ experiences with POIS, including symptomology, treatments trialed, and sexual function via the Female Sexual Function Index-6 (FSFI-6). To also compare their experiences with men who have POIS.

Methods:
An IRB-approved RedCAP survey was created and administered in September of 2023. The anonymous survey was distributed to the following online platforms: Twitter, Instagram, email, Reddit to include r/POIS and r/SampleSize, and the POISCenter forum. The survey was closed on November 5th, 2023 and descriptive statistics were performed.

Results:
Of 424 records, nineteen indicated they have a vulva and vagina. Authors individually and thoroughly assessed all nineteen records and eliminated duplicate responses, records that did not meet any of the established symptom criteria, and incomplete responses. After this, ten records were included in the statistical analysis. Participants identified as white/caucasian (7), Hispanic/Latina (2), and Iranian/Persian (1). One of the ten respondents has been diagnosed by a medical professional. Five participants indicated that they experience a “sensation of a flu-like state.” Three experience “extreme fatigue or exhaustion.” One experiences “feverishness or perspiration.” One experiences “mood instability and/or irritability.” Providers visited for their symptoms included primary care, endocrinologist, obstetrician/gynecologist, and mental health. Treatments trialed include allergy medications, anti-depressants, prednisolone, pelvic floor physical therapy, and pain relievers (i.e., NSAIDs). Seven participants completed the FSFI-6; three had a score of less than or equal to 19 (the cutoff for female sexual dysfunction(FSD)) and four had a score of greater than 20.

Conclusions:
POIS has been viewed as a “male-only” condition. While it largely impacts men, this data suggests that women are not immune to it and when compared to men, their experiences vary. From this prospective registry, the most common symptoms experienced by women were “flu-like.” Additionally, none of the participants visited a urologist compared to 65% of men who have. While nearly 60% of the FSFI-6 respondents are not classified as having FSD, it is important to note that only one participant stated they were “very satisfied” with their sex life. More data is needed on this understudied population affected by POIS.

Came across this by coincidence.
They seem to provide free phone consultation for POIS

I have no idea if something behind it as normally nothing is really for free!

Thanks to your participation, we are well on our way to a very meaningful POIS survey. I am already excited to share these results with you all and with the medical community.

================
Keep up the great work!
================

Isaac Bronson, MS
MD Candidate, Class of 2025






Hi all,
 
I’m excited to announce a new POIS survey and focus group study being launched out of UMass Chan School of Medicine! I’d like to introduce the study’s principal investigator, Isaac Bronson, who is a 4th year medical student at UMass Chan.

He discovered he himself was a POIS patient about a decade ago and went to medical school in hopes of finding a solution to the disease!

Since Isaac suffers from The Psychosocial Burden of POIS like the rest of us, his first study on this topic aims to shed light on the burden of this disease, and to share the results with the medical community.
 
Without further ado, please see Isaac’s message below for this study titled “The Psychosocial Burden of Post-Orgasmic Illness Syndrome”!
https://redcap.link/xvwt6ijc

Best,
Demo



From Isaac Bronson:
“Hello all,
 
I am a medical student at UMass Chan Medical School in Massachusetts who hopes to improve awareness of Post-orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS) to discover effective treatments for the disease.
 
A significant part of this disease being so burdensome is its effect on your lives as a whole. We aim to publish our results to show the medical research community that POIS is not just a problem with ejaculation, it can be debilitating across many domains of life. This study offers you the opportunity to share your stories.
 
Please complete the survey below and please consider opting into the Zoom focus group session, which you will be offered to do at the end of the survey:
 
SURVEY LINK: https://redcap.link/xvwt6ijc
 
To meet the inclusion criteria, subjects must be born with male anatomy, and either have been diagnosed with POIS or believe themselves to have POIS. You must be a current resident of the United States to participate in the focus group portion of this study. The study team will record focus group sessions for analysis.

This survey will be posted on POISCenter.com, Reddit.com, and Facebook.com and will be open for 6 weeks. Please feel free to share it wherever you believe it will reach sufferers of POIS. Please reach out to Isaac.bronson@umassmed.edu with any questions.”
