Question

I need help am 18 i am lossing my hair

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Masturbation does not cause hair loss.  Genetic male pattern balding is the most common cause of hair loss in men.

Jay Goldstein, MD · Answer

This is one of many myths about hair loss. In fact, masturbation is considered normal and healthy, as it helps reduce stress. There is absolutely no causal relationship. At your age, the statistically most likely cause is familial or genetics, which you are born with. There are many treatments for this. For step one I would suggest Minoxidil 5%. You need to take it for 4 months to ascertain if it is working or not.

No.
Most men with hair loss have male patterned balding (MPB) related to genetic
factors in combination with excess testosterone which is converted to di-hydro
testosterone (DHT).  Both of these
factors (genetics and DHT), play a part in hair loss not masturbation.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

no , excessive masturbation will not cause hair loss at all. but ıf you have a genetic hair loss , it may coincidence .

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Neither sex nor masturbation causes balding. Men's testicles make testosterone and this is metabolized into DHT, a male hormone 40 times as powerful as testosterone. When a person has genes for balding, the hormone DHT works with the gene to cause balding. The body makes an enzyme that allows for the manufacture of DHT and this enzyme can be blocked with the drug finasteride to often stop and possibly slow down the balding process because this DHT hormone production drops.
