Can Masturbation Cause Seizures?

Can masturbation cause seizures? I have been seizure free for over two years and I masturbate a few times a week. One night when i did masturbate i had a seizure about 4 hours later. Is there a correlation between the two that may have caused the seizure?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that masturbation is safe and is not linked to seizures.

So, the seizures after four hours of masturbation may be co-incidental and may not be causally linked.

Therefore, you need not worry about masturbation and increased risk of seizures.

I assume you are on good doses of anti-epileptic drugs for your seizure control.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
