Have I damaged the grafts by masturbating after hair transplantation?

Question

Hello. I Had a hairtransplantation and i masturbated 7 hours later(5-7min). After i cleaned the area with water. The following 3 days i masturbated also 2 times per day and I cleaned the area after it. I know it was very stupid. I was not bleeding or something like that. Could there be a chance that the grafts are not damaged?

Hello,We advise to avoid sexual activity for first week after hair transplantation.  The rationale is to avoid increasing blood pressure.  There are no studies supporting this however.

Why would you think masturbation will ruin your hair transplant?  Contact your doctor if you have issues.

masturbation does not cause hair loss or loss of graft growth. This is a normal process for most healthy men
