USA - A young man from the USA complained of "flu-like symptoms" for years and documented his malaise. Then the 22-year-old went to the doctor and was given a startling diagnosis!

Weakness, a runny nose or itchy eyes: whenever the US-American man had an orgasm, he felt bad afterwards.

As the American Journal of Case Reports reported, the first symptoms appeared two to three hours after ejaculation. Around eight to ten hours after his climax, the 22-year-old experienced abdominal and muscle pain and sometimes even lost consciousness.

According to People, some of his symptoms lasted up to three days. Going to work seemed impossible, and the young man's love life also suffered greatly.

One day, the 22-year-old asked "Dr. Google" for advice. This led to the suspicion that he might be suffering from a rather rare disease: post-orgasmic illness syndrome (POIS).

A visit to a specialist should finally bring clarity. Examinations - including standard allergy tests or the determination of his blood values - did not reveal any abnormalities.

However, the doctors discovered suspicious substances in the 22-year-old's body that were always released when the patient had masturbated shortly beforehand.

In the end, the astonishing result was clear: the US-American was diagnosed as being allergic to his own orgasms. But what now?

The doctors decided to administer antibodies to their patient. And lo and behold, the treatment worked! "The patient is currently symptom-free and feels comfortable with sexual activity," according to the American Journal of Case Reports.

The doctors' recommendation: If the 22-year-old takes his tablets regularly, he will have a better orgasm!
