Postorgasmic illness: Postorgasmic illness syndrome (POIS) is rare, esp. in females, but may be distressful. Cause is unknown and treatment non-specific but related to what else is happening such as anxiety or depression. It is not life-threatening but may impact quality of life. Seek a knowledgeable specialist if it has severe impact. Website for info: https://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php. Best regards for health.
