    Default Is it true that excessive mastubration caused hairloss?

    I guess if I want to know the answer I had to tell you the truth. This is very embarrassing for me. But anyways. I've been masturbating since I was 10~11. When I turned 15, I've been masturbating like almost single day and I masturbate twice a day when I'm 22. I'm 23 and I started to realize I've been losing my hair when I was 18.

    My parents kept telling me it was genetic, but all my siblings still have their hair, and my dad still have it. I thought it was because I have scalp problem so what i did was to shave my head (three times!) but still no results. Now I come to the conclusion that it's because of the masturbation. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since I did it. I want to keep that for 1 year and hopefully my assumption is right.

    Does anyone have the same situation as me??

    This is a complete fallacy! A myth, an urban legend. Masturbation will not cause hair loss, will not make you go blind, or grow hair on your palms!

    I have never heard of masturbation causing hair loss.You may want to consider seeing a hair transplant surgeon for a consultation. Have you thought about taking Propecia to prevent further hair loss? Remember genetic hair loss ( Male Pattern Baldness ) can skip generations. Just because none of your siblings or father has hair loss does not mean that your hair loss is not genetic.

    Got to agree - a myth. My sisters husband has a full head of hair and he is a complete wanker!
