Not necessarily. This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

No, masturbation doesn't cause hair loss. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

 I'm assuming that you do not have any scarring from the procedure. If you don't have any underlying medical problems, the hair should regrow.. Latisse, minoxidil and PRP can  speed up the process.
