What Are The Causes & Treatment For POIS?
Hello Doctor, Recovery time after sex is about 1 week for me. My brain loose all its talents. I am feeling very tired, pain in legs and head ache for 3 to 4 days. I search something on Internet. I end up with POIS (Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome). I am getting most of the symptoms of POIS. What is the reason for this and how to cure this problem?

Hi thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
POIS is a rare debilitating illness following sexual activity.
Underlying stress disorders and hormonal imbalances have been implicated as a cause but not proven.
Post coital headache/cephalagia is linked to it.
Treatment is largely supportive.avoid sex during stress times.
Regular physical activity can help.
Drugs like antidepressants-Escitalopram can help.
Consult an expert psychiatrist for further help.
Thank you,
Take care
