Can masturabation cause hair loss?

A receding hairline recently got me panicking. Some videos on YouTube mentioned a link between 'bad habits' and hair loss. I wanted to know if masturbation actually contributes to hair fall, or if it's just a myth people spread around.

From what I understand, hair loss is mostly linked to hormones like DHT or conditions like PCOS, rather than personal habits. I get bad hair fall due to my hormones, so I'd suggest checking that with a doctor.

Do not worry, there is no truth to this belief. If your hair is falling, try applying onion juice or methi seed paste on the scalp. Eating a handful of almonds every morning also helps make roots strong.

No, it doesn't cause hair loss. Try to eat well and get good sleep, don't worry too much about these things.

No connection scientifically. Hair loss is usually genetic or due to work stress and poor water quality. Save your time and just buy a good anti-hairfall shampoo and eat balanced meals.

I had massive hair fall last year and got so paranoid about this. My dermatologist cleared my doubts and told me it was actually Telogen Effluvium due to post-Covid weakness. It got cured with proper vitamins.
