Asked By:jaiparmar99 in Big Indian, NY

I have heard that frequent masturbation causes hair thining, until I saw it my self. My hair have become thinner, weaker and people feel I am going bald. I am 25 by the way. Now I have decided to quit it for the good since I am beginning to loose my looks. How can I recover my hair faster. I need my hair volume back. I am planning not to go for a surgery since there is no history of my forefathers going bald either. Thus it cannot be hereditary. I am loosing my hair from the center of my head.

Jae Pak, MD says:

Use minoxidil as directed. The instructions are usually written on the box or on the back of the bottle.  Since it is a medication that needs to go on your scalp, it would make sense to use it when your scalp is dry.
