Answer: Masturbation does not cause hair loss. If you still believe this to be the case you can try stop masturbating.

It depends on who you ask and who you believe. Some say lasers or LED do not work. Some say it does. It probably will not harm you other than the cost involved.
If you don't have side effects with a medication you have been taking for several years, it is unlikely you will have side effect in the future. It may be possible but it is unlikely. See your doctor if you are concerned.
