Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Postorgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is an extremely rare urogenital disease which significantly and negatively impacts the functioning and sexual activity. AIMS: A 34-year-old male presented with POIS symptoms and confirmed the allergic component of the POIS. Intensified immunotherapy with autologous semen was recommended. METHODS: The treatment lasted 14 months and included 20 visits. Modified and intensified subcutaneous immunotherapy in both forearms significantly shortened the therapy and improved the outcome, with high-tolerance and no adverse effects or hyperactive responses. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Improvement in POIS symptoms through the use of intensified immunotherapy with autologous semen. RESULTS: The improvement was significant enough to allow for higher sexual activity, and gradual resumption of private and professional activity. CONCLUSION: Intensified immunotherapy with autologous semen seems an effective and safe option for treating patients with suspected immune-allergenic POIS. To the best of our knowledge, this has been the first such intensive and effective allergen-specific immunotherapy of POIS. Wrotynska-Barczynska J, Swat. Swat E, Berger A, et al.
