Does Masturbation Contribute To The Essential Tremors In Hands?
Hi, my male friend has had a complete diagnostic workup and was diagnosed with Parkinson's and then it was changed to reflect the tremor in his hand called "essential tremor" which has gotten worse until they can get him the medication that will help.There is also impotence. At first they thought erectile dysfunction was due to neuropathy secondary to type 2 diabetes but now do not think that. There is a right calve problem as well..very painful and stays constantly contracted...they have not determined the cause but Ativan helps it some so he can rest. He admits to masturbation and wonders if that could contribute to his essential hand tremor?Sorry did not know you had to pay for answers...

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your boyfriend who is diagnosed to have Parkinsonism and type 2 diabetes and have erectile dysfunction and tremors in his hands which you suspect to be due to side effect of masturbation .
First of all there is myth in a mind of common man that excessive masturbation is the reason of all sexual problems But I would like to state that it has been discussed in scientific forums all over the world and proved scientifically that masturbation does not have any negative effect on any organ or system in the body .
All the problems that he has are primarily due to Parkinsonism and type 2 diabetes .
