Will masturbation cause weak handgrip?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 26 years old. For the last 10 years, I am suffering from very weak hand grip strength. At the age of 16 it started and grip strength was negligible for like four years. Then I started working out with hand grippers and the condition has improved a lot. There is no pain or numbness but still, at times, I feel my gripping strength is very weak and when I perform exercise it improves for the time being as I can feel the blood rushing inside the hands.

My query is that does masturbation has any link with this because I have noticed often that after performing the act the situation starts getting worse as in there is very less blood flow in hands and I feel very low gripping strength. I have no issue in lifting weights eg. bench press and there is no pain while doing any kind of lifts. Please guide me on my condition.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There is no link between masturbation and handgrip weakness. The cause of your hand grip weakness needs to evaluate further. You need an in-person neurologist consultation face to face because we need to examine your strength, reflexes, sensations of your hands. Is the weakness is more on the right or left? Do legs are involved or not? After a thorough physical examination only we can advise MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) cervical spine or nerve conduction study.

But as a neurologist, I can definitely guide you that there is no link between masturbation and hand weakness.
