Does masturbation 2 to 3 times a day causes hair loss?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, masturbation won't lead to hair loss. This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and 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

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

There are no established links between masturbation and hair loss. In theory, if anything it could help prevent hair loss by reducing stress, since stress is a known cause of hair loss.

There is no link between masturbation and hair loss. If masturbation caused hair loss, there would be even more bald men walking around!
