Does excessive masturbation cause hair loss in teenagers?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old, and I used to masturbate and ejaculate. I think due to less testosterone or something like that, and now I am suffering hair loss. Will I become bald? Please suggest some tablets with no side effects to prevent this. It seems that my hair growth stopped on the front side. Give a medicine so that hair fall stops and hair starts growing again. So that I can get thick and proper hair as I earlier had.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to Icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Masturbation is a safe habit. It is considered normal. Masturbation does not result in any physical weakness or any loss of hair. I do not think the hair loss you have is due to masturbation. Masturbation does not increase hair fall. For persistent hair fall, visit a doctor for help. Biotin and Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) supplements help to reduce hair fall. Consult a doctor for treatment.

Thank you.
