I'm really confused and a bit worried about whether masturbation is bad for me. Are there any harmful effects I should be aware of? Also, is there any truth to the idea that it could be related to hair fall or developing bald patches? I'd appreciate some clarity on this.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation is related to hair fall or the formation of bald patches. Hair loss is usually caused by factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. If you are experiencing hair loss, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
