Sexual engagement usually leads to positive and satisfactory feelings under typical circumstances. However, studies conducted in recent years have revealed that some people experience feelings of depression, anxiety, agitation, or aggression following sexual activity or masturbation. This condition, known as postcoital dysphoria (PCD), is a rare psychiatric disorder that has been reported more in women than in men. We present a rare case of a 24-year-old male who suffers from PCD. This provides clinical insight for studies further attempting to investigate PCD among males.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon GI tract cancers that develop from immature mesenchymal cells. It might be difficult to get an early diagnosis of people with small bowel GISTs, which can cause delays in therapy. We present here a case of a 62-year-old male with an incidental finding of a small intestine GIST during the workup for umbilical hernia. He presented with swelling above the umbilicus for the past six months that was progressive in nature and not associated with pain. Computer tomography (CT) of the abdomen with intravenous contrast revealed a heterogeneously enhancing mass lesion in the left paraumbilical intraperitoneal region, and immunohistochemistry results of the CT-guided biopsy showed a GIST. The patient underwent excision of the tumor with segmental resection and anastomosis, and supraumbilical hernia repair. Chemotherapy (imatinib for three years) after suture removal was planned for him.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
