I Only Lose Hair When I Ejaculate

I began losing my hair at 17 but brought it to an absolute stop when I began taking Propecia at 24. My hairline didn’t move an inch until I began taking Sertraline at age 36. However, I only lose hair when I ejaculate. I stopped ejaculating for three weeks and didn’t lose any hair. Once I did it again, I could see noticeable chunks missing from my hairline just like before.

I even switched to the antidepressant Viibryd to see if it made a difference but I still lost hair ONLY when I ejaculated. I stopped antidepressants completely for over a year, the hair never grew back but I didn’t lose any more hair. I eventually had to get back on Sertraline and the problem continued despite the fact that I have never missed one dose of Propecia, I take it at the same time every morning and never have anything but water when I take it.

Is there any way I can ejaculate without losing more hair?

Assuming you are serious about all this, I do not understand how ejaculation, Propecia, and your antidepressant are all related to hair loss. However, I will entertain your observation to be true and will give you a scientifically inspired answer.

I propose that you keep a precise data log and plot on a graph the number of hair lost versus amount of ejaculation over a period of time. By doing this, you may be able to see a pattern, such as an exponential or a linear relationship. If you can extrapolate an equation from this graph, it may give you a clue on how often you can ejaculate while minimizing the hair loss.

For all others reading this… ejaculation does not cause hair loss.

I saw someone with hairs pointing in the wrong direction after FUE

Hair direction after any hair transplant (FUE or FUT) is controlled by the surgeon. Sometimes the surgeon doesn’t put the graft in the correct position and when that happens the hair grows as he planted it (wrongly if he put them in that way). I see this more commonly that one would think because not all doctors who do hair transplants really understand this very simple process.

I Stopped Propecia When I Saw Muscle Loss

Hello Dr Bill,

I am 20 years old and I have been balding since 15 years old. Last year I started to use propecia. For a while, I saw its benefit. My hair loss stopped and some of them regrew. After one year, I quit using that because I had muscular side effect. I mean I had muscle loss, I think. Thus, my hair loss started again. I have visible frontal and vertex hair loss now. My doctor said there is no serious adverse effect of this drug. Well, I started using it again 3 months ago. I havent seen any benefit last 3 months. Hair loss is still continuing and I have no visible hair growth also. Is that normal? Is that a cycle?

Thank you very much
Have a nice day

I do not believe Propecia will cause you muscle loss or be adverse to any gains you might see when working out. Maybe you need to hit the gym more. In fact, there was a theory that Propecia actually gave you muscle mass due to the slight increase in testosterone.

With respect to your hair loss, I would follow up with your prescribing doctor. Stopping Propecia after some time will give you “catch up” hair loss and re-starting the medication will not give you back the hair you lost. Either way, you likely won’t see much benefits-wise after just 3 months.

Do I have a mature hairline or a balding hairline? Photos)

I am 21 and worry about this every day as I constantly look in the mirror and then compared my pictures from 3 years ago and see a big difference.

I am sure what you had three years ago was a juvenile hairline and it changed into a classic mature hairline . This is absolutely a normal mature hairline and the change is normal for someone of your age

I thought that FUE did not have any scars? (photo)

FUE produces “punctate scars” which show up clearly on your head. The more FUEs that you do, the more FUE scars will be seen. If you do too many, then these scars will dominate your head. Every time the human body is cut, it heals with a scar. There is no such thing as a completely scar-less surgery. The surgeon tries to use very small punches to make the wounds small which then usually produce small scars. Punch sizes of 0.9mm or less are best for small, less detectable scars. Ask your surgeon what size punch he/she used.

I Want All Body and Head Hair Gone

This might sound weird, but I dont want body hair or head hair. What can I do to got rid of it permanently?

You’re one of the very few that write in wanting to know ways to get rid of hair. Electrolysis and hair removal lasers (epilators) are the only permanent method to remove unwanted hair and removing all of your hair would be quite difficult. These involve using electric current to damage the areas that generate hair or lasers to burn them at the roots, but both of these methods have a high failure rate (50% per hair per treatment on average).

It’s too bad there is no method of donating hair to other people (beyond for wig making purposes). We know some people that would love to be in your situation.

I Want to Grow Chest Hair!

I am 22 yrs. and I have very little hair around my nipples but no hair on my chest. Is there any way I can grow chest hair?

No. There is no practical way to grow chest hair. I guess you could try minoxidil, which is known to grow hair, but it might get you a big dose of the medication if you apply it all over your chest. At your age, I would advise you to wait it out. If you have any Native American lineage, you may not grow chest hair at all. And some men just don’t have much chest hair.

I Want to Transplant Hairs from My Toe to Eyebrow

Do you do eye brow transplants?

I have toe hair, and I would like to either remove it or have laser done to get rid of the hairs. I don’t like my eyebrows, because they are thick. The color matches between my eyebrow and my toe hairs and they seem to have the same texture.

I think I would be a good candidate if you did.

Yes, we do eyebrow transplants! Body hair transplants (from the back, chest or leg) have been attempted in the past with minimal success because the telogen cycle is long, at times longer than the growth cycle. Although scalp hair transplant to the eyebrow is routinely done, it does not always produce soft eyebrows that women want if the scalp hair is anything but fine. Keep in mind that scalp hair is generally more coarse than eyebrow hair. Thus, eyebrow transplants for men with coarser hair produce a more aesthetically pleasing result (as men generally want bushy, coarse eyebrows like Einstein or Mark Twain — well, maybe not that far). That being said, many of my patients (who are women) were very satisfied with their eyebrow results. The key point is that everybody is different and each patient needs to have realistic expectations and goals and know the limitations of such surgery with regard to the thickness of the hair being transplanted. This goes for any type of surgery.

I would not object to toe hair transplanted to the eyebrow, but it would be purely experimental and the growth rate may be less optimal because the sleep cycle (telogen) is relatively long, possibly longer than the growth cycle. The reason I suspect that this is the case is that I have rarely seen very long hairs growing from the top of the toe. I would want to know more about what the patient expects and what other hair may be available as an alternative.
