Could I have compromised my FUE results from masturbating?

Question

Hi doctors, i masturbated few hours after my hairtransplant( fue) many times but in a normal way ( so no "strange masturbatory ritual") Now i ask : can i have compromised anything?

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

The aftercare of the hair transplant is a very important stage. You need to avoid sexual intercourse in anyways for the first week of your operation.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  Masturbation does not affect your hair.

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

We advise to avoid sexual activity for first week after hair transplantation.  The rationale is to avoid increasing blood pressure.  There are no studies supporting this however.  Best Anil Shah

In routine hair loss us not associated with masturbation...so I think its safe..

Ryan Welter, MD · Answer

There would be no problem with normal masturbation after FUE.  Your hair should be just fine!

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

For some reason this question comes up more often than not. It should be fine. More often the question is does masterbation lead to hairless? The answer is still: NO!

Brian Goertz, MD (retired) · Answer

Not to worry, it will not affect growth of your follicles after either FUE or FUT method of donor hair extraction.

Cory Torgerson, MD, PhD, FRCSC - Account Suspended · Answer

This will not affect the outcome of your hair transplant or make you "go blind". As long as you didn't rub against the transplanted area you should be just fine.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

You can masturbate within a day of having FUE aas there should be no impact on your hair.  Working up a sweat is ok
