Excessive Sweating After Ejaculation: Is It a Sign of High Blood Pressure?

Sweating

Hello.
I have a habit of masturbation.
Over the past year or two, I have noticed that 15 seconds after ejaculation, I experience body heat and excessive sweating.
Could this be related to high blood pressure? My masturbation is very gentle, so the sweating does not seem to be caused by vigorous exercise.
I do not sweat before ejaculation.
If this is high blood pressure, which specialty should I consult?

Is it really that accurate? What about 15 seconds before? Have you ever gently run 400 meters? Try running and see if you have a similar reaction 15 seconds after crossing the finish line.
It shouldn't be that serious, right? It can't be hypertension, can it?

More Info

Excessive sweating after ejaculation, particularly if it occurs shortly after the event, can be concerning and may prompt questions about underlying health issues, including high blood pressure. However, it is essential to understand that sweating after ejaculation is not a definitive sign of high blood pressure.
The phenomenon you are experiencing could be attributed to several factors. During sexual arousal and ejaculation, the body undergoes various physiological changes. This includes the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which can lead to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and sweating. The release of hormones such as adrenaline can also contribute to feelings of warmth and sweating.
In your case, the fact that you do not experience sweating before ejaculation and that it occurs shortly after suggests that it may be a normal physiological response rather than a direct indication of hypertension. However, if you are concerned about your blood pressure, it is advisable to monitor it regularly. High blood pressure, or hypertension, can sometimes be asymptomatic, but it can lead to serious health issues over time, including cardiovascular disease and stroke.

If you suspect that your symptoms may be related to high blood pressure, you should consider consulting a healthcare professional. A primary care physician or a cardiologist would be appropriate specialists to evaluate your blood pressure and overall cardiovascular health. They can perform a thorough assessment, including measuring your blood pressure in different positions (sitting, standing) and at different times of the day, to determine if you have hypertension.

Additionally, it may be beneficial to discuss your symptoms with a urologist, especially if you notice any other changes in sexual function or if the sweating is accompanied by other concerning symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness.
In summary, while excessive sweating after ejaculation can be uncomfortable and concerning, it is not necessarily a direct sign of high blood pressure. It is essential to monitor your blood pressure and consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions. Regular check-ups and open communication with your doctor can help ensure that any potential health issues are addressed promptly.
