Dear Editor,Post-orgasmic illness syndrome(POIS)is a rare disorder affecting men,and is characterized by flu-like symptoms that appear immediately or within hours after ejaculation.In 2002,Waldinger and Schweitzer1 reported the first two cases of POIS and subsequently proposed five preliminary diagnostic criteria for POIS.1,2 The symptoms were categorized into seven clusters.To avoid these symptoms,patients with POIS tend to minimize the frequency of ejaculation and avoid sexual activity.Therefore,POIS poses a severe mental and psychosocial burden on patients and negatively affects their quality of life by affecting schedules,dampening romantic prospects,and creating internal struggles to avoid eroticism.3 Previously,the main treatment strategies were focused on drug and hyposensitization therapies.
