I'm 21, male. Is there any relation between stress, masturbation and hair loss? (Photo)

Question

Having Severe hairfall from past one year( receding hairline and low hair density) is there any relation between anxiety (heart palpitations) and hairfall. Also i used to masturbate alot (almost everyday) for 4-5 years. Can anxiety,stress and masturbation be a cause of my hairloss? Also no one in my family is bald.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, masturbation does not cause 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

Thank you for your question. Yes, stress causes hair loss. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy for NeoGraft Hair Restoration because the procedure can create a natural looking result with no incisions and a short recovery period.
Best wishes,

Anxiety,stress and masturbation do not cause  hair loss.Receding hairline is not a hair loss because of ongoing process of androgenetic alopecia but  a simple juvenile type maturing of frontal hair line.  That is seen almost every young boys almost between 16-21 that have a very rounded hairline without recession in the corners.  Recession in the corners is a sign of mature pattern male frontal hair line.
