Does ejaculation cause hair loss?

My friend was joking about how 'too much activity' can lead to hair loss, specifically mentioning ejaculation. I know it sounds silly, but does ejaculation actually cause hair loss or hair thinning? I'm seeing some hair fall, so thought I'd ask.

It does not cause hair loss at all. However, if you are experiencing sudden or severe hair shedding along with scalp itching, please see a dermatologist. I ignored my scalp issues for too long and ended up with severe hair thinning that took a year to treat.

Beta, these are just baseless rumors spread among youngsters. Ejaculation does not affect your hair. To keep your hair strong, gently massage your scalp with warm amla or coconut oil once a week and eat healthy food.

I used to worry about this constantly because of random articles online, and it made my anxiety so much worse! But after researching properly, I found out it is absolutely safe. Don't worry, your hair is completely safe.

I totally get it, when you start losing hair, you begin questioning everything you do out of fear. But rest assured, there is no connection here. Just try to manage your stress and get a doctor's advice for your hair fall.
