Question 1

i was just wondering why does my arm tingle during an orgasm?

Accepted Answer

Any other time?: Do you get it any other time? Does it happen if you cough, sneeze, laugh, or have a bowel movement? Ever feel this sitting in front of a computer for long periods, or bending your head forward. 

 It may be due to increased pressure in your spinal cord, irritating a bulged cervical disk, which can then cause numbness or tingling. There may also be other explanations holding breathe, position.....

Question 2

what causes my hands and feet to go numb after i orgasm during sex

Accepted Answer

Numbness after sex. : Numbness, tingling, light headed ness, and sleepiness are all commonly experienced symptoms after orgasm for both genders. Except for sleepiness the others should be transient. Given the complex interaction of cardiac, respiratory, neural, and intra abdominal pressure changes going on at the time, it is expected that these effects might be experienced. Nothing to worry about!

Question 3

my mouth and surrounding facial area went numb and tingly during an orgasm. what could this be from ?

Accepted Answer

Hyperventilation: You were breathing rapidly and hyperventilated.  Classic symptoms.

Question 4

i had a hysterectomy with the robotics,and i waited 10weeks to have intercourse. i went numb completely in my vagina after and during my orgasm.

Accepted Answer

Good &amp; bad news: The good news is that the nerve connections that allow orgasm are intact after surgery. The bad news is  that if there is any other pelvic, abdominal or thigh numbness that occurs outside of orgasm your surgeon needs to be notified.

Question 5

my neck and back get cold and numb when masturbating, during orgasm. a similar thing happens before i get panic attacks. what could be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Autonomic nerves: The autonomic (involuntary) nervous system is 2 parts: one called sympathetic and the other is parasympathetic. The sympathetic part is responsible for panic (fear fight flight anger and intense exercise) and also gets excited during orgasm. The problem is that fixing this problem is not as straight forward. Discuss with your doc possibly increasing Paxil (paroxetine) or using other meds like beta blockers?

Question 6

i mastarbate once a week and orgasm twice. after the first one during my second i find that my pennis gets numb. i use lotion while mastarbating. ( i am uncircumcised and rub my glands with the skin rolled down.) i go really slow should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

: No need to worry.  What you experience in within normal limits.
Wish you good health.

Question 7

painful swollen supraclavicular lymph node left side. includes jolts of pain to left arm. ballet 4+ times per week, numbness in left arm during bridge

Accepted Answer

Have it checked: Really, someone needs to examine what you have described. I would recommend you start with your primary care doc so they can get a full history and have a look/feel of the area.

Question 8

hello, me and my partner have been having sex for a week now and i still feel dull pain and numbness a bit and i can't orgasm. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Safe sex important: Safe sex involves protection from disease transmission and freedom from issues which cause pain.  A visit to a gynecologist or to a women's health clinic would enable a careful examination for physical causes of discomfort as well as a helpful conversation concerning important aspects of the physiology and psychology of sexual activity.

Question 9

hi i feel sick everytimee i have an orgasm sometimes i am sick after. i also sometimes find sex painful and also after i orgasm my legs go numb?!

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Sex should not be painful, make you feel sick and certainly should not be causing neurological deficits. Schedule a visit for an evaluation.

Question 10

hi, is it normal to have numbness in genital area 5 weeks after pudendal nerve block? sensitivity is lost, hard to reach orgasm

Accepted Answer

No: It is not normal to have numbness that long as local anesthetic effects do not last for that long as that is what causes numbness from those blocks, if it were damaged nerves from the block these are peripheral nerves and they do repair themselves, would discuss this with doc that did block as well as pcp, need to rule out other causes also.
