Can mastubation cause hair loss?

Question

More hair seems to be falling out than usual these days, and I'm really getting worried about going bald. One of my older cousins told me that too much masturbation is the reason for hair loss. Is there any medical connection between the two?

I also used to think about this daily and got so stressed that my hair actually started falling more because of the anxiety! It's a vicious cycle, but science says there is no link, so please try to relax.

I completely understand the guilt and anxiety this question brings, I went through the exact same phase. But let me assure you, it is a total myth. Your hair fall is likely due to genetics or stress, not this.

According to dermatologists, hair loss is primarily caused by DHT sensitivity, genetics, and thyroid issues. There is no clinical study that links masturbation to alopecia or hair thinning. Don't worry about it.

Sherin Thomas · Answer

Medically, there is no correlation between hair loss and masturbation. Your body doesn't lose vital nutrients or protein this way. If you have severe hair thinning, it's best to show a doctor for proper diagnosis.

At 50, my hair is almost gone and trust me, it was because of my office stress and genes, not because of anything else! Don't worry about these young age myths, just enjoy your life.

Nah bro, your hair roots care about your protein intake, not your personal life! Eat more paneer, eggs, and good food instead of worrying about these old stories.
