Aaron Rodriguez+FollowEver heard of post-orgasm 'flu'?Imagine feeling wiped out, foggy, and achy for days after sex—yep, that's a real thing called POIS (post-orgasmic illness syndrome).

Aaron Rodriguez+FollowHow Docs Crack Rare Cancer CasesEver wonder how doctors actually confirm those super rare cancers?

If that’s gone, it’s a big clue! The whole medical squad gets together to plan the best treatment, and that missing protein could even open doors to new therapies.
