Suggest Treatment For Epilepsy
Hello, I have a 13 year old son that has epilepsy. He is curious about his body and always tries to play with his genital parts. At school they noticed that the last two times that he had a seizure at school. My son was touching his genital parts. If he is trying to masturbate can masturbation trigger a seizure?

Hi ,your son had 2 episodes of seizures .
He needs to be investigated with MRI brain and EEG .
I would like to know whether he is on antiepileptics or not.
Masturbation can excite you son which may trigger the seizure episode.
Other trigger factors are -
Lack of sleep,food
stress
menstruation
certain drugs and alcohol
pregnancy
Thanks
