Over the past 38 years, the sperm count measured at Mt. Sinai Hospital and elsewhere has dropped 58%. Dr. Swan reported this alarming statistic on the BBC. She believes that this change must be due to environmental factor such as plastics and other chemicals which are now in our bodies. In addition to the number of sperm produced per cc of ejaculate, the quality of the sperm is also down as more and more embryos are developing with congenital problems which are now being identified in the offspring of our children. Dr. Swan believes that these changes are probably permanent and correction might take a few generations to correct.

The growth is just starting. Hopefully, in the next 3 months, you will see 80% of the growth to styling length. With 1950 grafts in that area, the results should look fairly thick.

5 Months AFTER my Hair Transplant from tressless

Their is always so much talk about DHT being the root cause of Male Pattern Hair loss nearly everywhere one reads. I was just curious if their has been any other recent discoveries, excluding DHT, that may contribute or cause the condition?

For the genetic condition, it is the DHT that acts on the genetically sensitive hair follicle that causes hair loss. There are nother recent discoveries that I’m aware of relating to what you’re asking.

This is an example of a person who mapped out his scalp to determine the degree of miniaturization in the different areas. The key is not only to identify the areas where it comes from, but to see enough hairs roots so that I can count the degree of miniaturization. For DUPA, this is critically important as shown in this link for a DUPA patient: https://baldingblog.com/classic-case-of-dupa/

Thanks for answer, I make this question due the tons of speculations ive heard about back/chest acne related with male pattern baldness, does exist any relation between them?

None that I’m aware of. Where are you hearing this stuff? Acne on your chest or back is unrelated to male pattern baldness.

Once and for all, in regards to thousands of emails i imagine you get, i have a question for you. I can see there is a miscommunication with the emails you receive regarding matsurbation and hairloss. The way people are wording the emails they send you such as ‘does masturbation cause hairloss’ isn’t what i think their trying to convey. My question is as follows:

I UNDERSTAND that masturbation doesn’t CAUSE MPB/hairloss/genetic hairloss, however for the people who are loosing there hair due to MPB can masturbation exacerbate their hair loss (make it worse). Put simply, the only cure for MPB would be castration (removing the testicles). To gain an erection and to ejaculate you need your testicles, so they can perform their functions to enable erections. So logically, if your stimulating your testicles to perform its functions such as:

-producing sperm (spermatozoa)
-producing male sex hormones of which testosterone is the best- known

your increasing testosterone inturn DHT and other androgens. So if castration is a cure for MPB they only thing you can do is try and replicate what casturation does (it stops you from being able to ejaculate) SO in conclusion try to limit sexual activity (which will reduce androgen activity and you can help to reduce its effect towards MPB

thank you for your continued replies NHI. great work!!

If you are asking about what happens after one loses his testicles from castration, well, there will be no desire or ability to masturbate unless you take exogenous testosterone. I do not have experience with removing the testicles on anyone, so the subtleties of what you are asking are not my cup of tea. If you really want to know the answers to those questions, ask doctors who do sex change operations (male to female). They would know by experience, as sometimes they remove the testicles before they remove the penis.

If you are asking if a balding man increases his masturbating habits or sexual activities, will he accelerate his hair loss… I believe the answer is no. Theory is one thing, but to prove it is another. I’ve seen no such proof. Also, I posted a story about a year ago regarding China’s last eunuch going bald, so that is some food for thought — see here.

(female) I was in a car accident a year ago and have been suffering neck pain since. I also have noticed in about the last 5 months severe itchy scalp and some hair thining. I noticed the loss by my forehead at first but within the last month noticed that I can put my hair in a small clamp. I never have been able to do that before. Also I have noticed some hearing loss, could this all be related? Thank you

Neck pain is not related to hair loss. Itchy scalp is not related to hair loss. Hearing loss is not related to hair loss. Itchy scalp with neck pain and hearing loss in any combination are not related to hair loss.

You may just have a lot of separate medical issues going on that needs to be followed by a doctor. Hair loss can be a result of stress (physical or mental), which you may have.

Hi, im a 20 year old male and have noticed signs of either balding or a maturing hairline. my hair is fair and has always been fairly thin as it runs in my family on my mothers side, but it seems rather selective, she has 6 brothers and 2 of which are balding and started at my age.

my question is, can a maturing hairline include thinning all over the scalp, or only in the frontal areas? because the thinning i have noticed is also in the crown area.

If you are thinning in the crown, then you probably have more than just a maturing hairline. Frontal and crown thinning and recession is a sign of genetic patterned hair loss. Get your hair and scalp mapped out for miniaturization and you will know what is happening to you.

As men get older, the risk of producing children with a variety of defects rises e.g. Autism, Schizophrenia. Although this risk doubles, it is still very small (in the order of 1 percent rather that 0.5 percent). To balance this negative, men over 40 are likely to produce children with larger brains. Having older parents may also be beneficial as the maturity of older men may provide children with a more stable home environment. Also, the sperm of older men may have mutations and may possibly play a role in the evolution of our big brains. We have also recognized that children with autism have bigger brains, suggesting greater processing power. But autism has significant defects in using this greater power with a significant decrease in social skills.
