Looking for advice — POIS symptoms and treatment
Hi everyone, I believe I have POIS and I’m trying to figure out what I can do to manage the symptoms.
After ejaculation, I regularly experience:
left-sided abdominal/flank pain, sometimes under the left ribs
severe bloating and gas
nausea and loss of appetite
headaches
anxiety and mood changes
heavy sweating
fatigue
The symptoms can start the next day, and sometimes even 2–4 days after ejaculation. When I don’t ejaculate, I feel completely normal.
For those of you who have been diagnosed with POIS:
What treatment or strategies have actually helped reduce your symptoms? What do you do when an episode starts? And what type of doctor did you see (urologist, allergist/immunologist, gastroenterologist, etc.)?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you had digestive symptoms and left-sided abdominal pain like me.
