Hi,
Post-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is a rare condition that is characterized by a constellation of symptoms that occur immediately after ejaculation in men. The symptoms of POIS can vary widely and may include fatigue, headache, muscle weakness, flu-like symptoms, and cognitive difficulties. In some cases, individuals may experience shivering or shaking in their hands and legs.
The exact cause of POIS is not yet fully understood, but it is thought to be related to an immune system reaction or an allergic response to seminal fluid. Treatment for POIS may involve medications such as antihistamines or desensitization therapy to reduce symptoms.
If you are experiencing shaking or shivering in your legs and hands after orgasm, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Your healthcare provider may refer you to a specialist such as a urologist or neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.
If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.

Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
