After sex, numbness and inability to move limbs is a disease?

Patient's question:

Sometimes, after being in the bedroom with my husband, I experience numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, making it impossible to move. Is this abnormal?

Doctor's answer:

If there are no other symptoms, it could be due to overexcitement, which is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. If you experience numbness, muscle cramps, or loss of sensation in your upper limbs and hands, numbness in your feet but with sensation, or eye pain and, it is recommended to have a blood biochemistry test to check for deficiencies in potassium, calcium, etc. A brain should also be done to rule out any brain disorders. It is advisable to have a CT scan at the hospital's neurology department and orthopedics department for a definitive diagnosis. For peripheral neuropathy, it is recommended to take neurotrophic drugs. For cervical spondylosis, traction and physical therapy can be used for treatment.
