Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. I have had seen CT scan and MRI scan of patients having seizures for more than 10 years.
2. Excessive masturbation is doing masturbation more than once daily and this is similar to an addictive behavior that can disrupt your daily activities.
3. Too much masturbation will not cause epilepsy but since it is a physical activity, therefore your muscles will get weak and that is why you are having symptoms.
4. Seizures never occur during masturbation but some people might experience a good orgasm and mistake it for a seizure.
5. There is one condition affecting young children where they masturbate and this might appear as a seizure and must be differentiated.
6. If your CT scan, MRI scan and EEG are normal then there is nothing major structural abnormality in your brain.
7. However you might have a tendency to sexual addiction and it will help to take behavior therapy from a clinical psychologist and reduce masturbation to 3 to 4 times in a week.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Dr.Vivek
