Im 20 years old and I am noticing my hair thinning on both the front left and front right sides of my head. Receding hair does exist in my family, however, for a while I had been excessively masturbating. This may have also been a cause, so Ive heard. What do you think? Is it possible for my hair to grow back thicker? And what would be the best thing for me to do?
Thinning hair does come from family genetics and I gather from your question that you have the genetics in your family history, which may point to the most probable cause of your hair loss. Genetic hair loss is caused by the interaction between your genes, your testosterone (and DHT levels), time, and stress. The young man has a great deal of circulating testosterone (which creates DHT, which causes hair loss and thinning on the negative side and hair growth in beard, chest hair, and hair almost everywhere else on the body, except the scalp). Because testosterone levels are high, the sex drive in young men is also very high. Frequent erections (in some teenage boys as many as 20 times per hour in some situations) produce a desire to masturbate (when the opportunity is right) to relieve the sexual drive. High testosterone levels and the desire to masturbate are a perfectly normal response to both your erections and the hormone levels driving them. As a culture, we hide our masturbating with some shame but the process is a normal process.
Your frequency of masturbation will not impact your hair loss; only things like genetics, hormones and hormone blocking agents like Propecia will impact your hair loss/thinning. You should have your scalp evaluated for miniaturization and balding patterns. If you do have genetic hair loss, you should get on the appropriate treatment (like Propecia), for if you do not treat it, the family pattern may prevail. It is said that men who are bald, are more sexually active than hairy men. I do not know if this is correct or not or if that means that bald men try harder. There are better statistics for hair loss than the masturbating habits of young, balding men. I would suggest that you masturbate all you want, just focus upon getting your hair diagnosis and treatment going in the right direction by taking action, rather than ignoring the proper approach to your problem. Keep hair loss and your penis agenda separate and give both, the attention they need. If you are able to come to Los Angeles, visit me and I would be happy to evaluate your hair loss and recommend the appropriate treatment for you.

Hi!
At first i never have this huge among of hair loss a day. After, i’ve been masturbating for couple of months and i seem to have a hair loss. I lose about 50-100 hair a day. I do not know why. Please, tell me because of masturbating? Thanks!
hi. i am iranian. in my cuntry say masturbation is very dangerous and very harmful and if harm ful does harm of masturbation come back?and is masturbation is harmful?
I think masturbation itself increaes the sex drive as your body adapts to the routine and therefore more and more testosterone is made to keep up with the demand and this will evnetually turn into dht which will make the hair loss case worse.Try something like spearmint tea to lower your sex drive and you might end up lowering your frequency of masturbation which will reduce the production of dht ad your hair may have a chance of rejuvenating itself.
according to this actual study, masturbation can indeed increase levels of DHT which causes hair loss.

hello, i masterbate daily. i want to know that, if i do it regularly, so i will have some disadvantage of it. i have heard that masterbating can decrease your beauty or your shining of face, please suggest me
And masterbating dosent mess with your hormones at all? Gimme a break doc. You’re so full of it. Too much of anything is bad for you. Any type of addiction will have consequences. Get real.

Hi i am 20 years old and i believe im losing my hair. my moms father has been bald before she was even born, but my father has a full head of thick hair and is 49 years old. my mother tells me i had way more hair than my grandfather did at his age. Is masterbation causing my hairloss?IF so, if i quit now will it grow back? Or do i have a bad gene from my grandfather?
Hi.Masturbation will not couse hair loss.It’s old wives tale.Why everybody talks about masturbation?Having sex would make you bald too if that was true.Anyway…Every single day you lose 50-150 hair.It’s normal.
I never have’nt hair loss before masturbate. After, i’ve been masturbating with a gap one or two days for couple of months and i seem to have a hair loss. I lose about 60-130 hair a day. I don’t know why. Please, tell me because of masturbating? if so than tell me the way how to cure it.
Harry-Hair loss is not caused by masturbating. There is no cure for hair loss, just as there is no cure for blue eyes or big ears. It is genetic. Losing 100 hairs a day is normal.
Does hair loss due to stress ever grow back?
