I have sex multiple times a day, 2-3 days a week, and masturbate quite regularly. How would this impact me while on fin?

Is it true that female donor hair that is transplanted does not become permanent and may eventually fall out of the transplanted area whereas male transplanted hair will never fall out?
Whatever happens to the donor area will happen to the transplanted hairs in their new location. Female genetic alopecia is often diffuse and when it progresses, it impacts the donor area with miniaturization that is progressive, so you will see that impact in the recipient area for donor hair as the miniaturization progresses. In most men, the donor area is spared from miniaturization, so when this hair is transplanted into the recipient area it reflects that stability seen in the donor area and is not lost. In other words, men have that ring of hair around their heads (often called the permanent zone), whereas women aren’t going to necessarily have that same permanent area.
No, because hair loss is an inherited pattern. For example, if you inherited a Class 3 pattern (just the corners of the hairline), an early appearance will not lead to more balding elsewhere. This is why I like to perform a HAIRCHECK test when I see a young man because we both want some indication as to what is going to happen to him in the years to come.
How true is it that the sooner you show signs of hair loss, the sooner you will end up bald? from tressless

Doubling the finasteride does does not double the gain. In fact, it probably will do nothing to your response. In the original Merck studies on finasteride, doses from 0.1 mg to as high as 10 mgs were tested and the results showed that the 1mg dose gave the best overall response. Increasing the dose might increase the risk of side effects.

Your donor area will never regrow since the hair grafts removed by the FUE are gone forever from the donor area. From the pictures it looks like you were both over-harvested (too many FUE grafts taken per square inch) and the area harvested was too high (not all of the grafts are permanent grafts and may eventually fall out). Scalp Micropigmentation will solve the see-through look (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com)
Grafts are secure 5 days after your procedure and when all of the crusts are off. If your hair is tangled, use a good conditioner and a wide-toothed comb.

About 2.5 months post op from my tranplant (4,000 grafts) I developed a case of Seborrheic Dermatitis. Medicated shampoos were not working so my dermatologist prescribed a desonide/ciclopirox cream (mild steroid/anti-fungal) to be applied 2x per day. Will a cream block my pores and stunt my transplant growth?
Since it’s already over 2 months since your hair transplant, I wouldn’t be concerned. You should play it safe and talk with your surgeon about this.
Hair follicles have been grown in Petri dishes in the past, and then transplanted into mice. All of the animals died from infection.

I’ve had Laser treatments to remove the hair on my back and reduce the hair on my chest. I now have very little hair on my back and less on my chest.
Recently I’ve had a CATSCAN. My lymph nodes are irregular and I’m having a biopsy. I’ve been told I may have to do chemo.
I’m aware I can lose much of my hair during these treatments. I realize this is usually temporary. Will this have an effect in reversing any changes made by the Laser on my back and chest?
Thanks.
If the laser succeeded and the hair on the back and chest has been gone for more than a year or two, then the chemotherapy should not impact any regrowth of the body hair that has been removed. The reason I am saying this, is that laser hair removal (when it succeeds) kills the ‘root’ of the hair so that it will not regrow. As you probably know, the laser is about 50% effective at killing each hair, so after one treatment 50% of the hair will return within a few months of the treatment. With each successive treatment 50% of the treated hair dies, so after the second treatment 25% returns, and after the third is 12.5%, then 6%, then 3%, and so on. This assumes that modern hair lasers are used.
Your head hair (if you lose it with chemotherapy) has not been killed off, but rather a chemically induced telogen process will have been precipitated. Chemotherapeutic agents go after the faster growing cells of the body (cancers, hair, certain blood cells, sometimes intestinal cells) and that is the common thread that produces the side effects you may experience with such agents (anemia and white blood cell depletion, bleeding from depleted platelets, diarrhea and nausea from intestinal cell impact). The telogen process from chemotherapy is in the hair follicle and it usually reverses in a few months after the chemo stops. The drugs used vary and not all people lose their hair with some of the chemotherapy agents. Some of the newer chemotherapy agents are more targeted at the cancer and some of these other fast growing cells may not be impacted.
