Can masturbation really cause hair loss? I'm experiencing a lot of hair thinning and I'm worried if it's linked to masturbating. Is this type of hair loss something that can be reversed?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Masturbation itself is not directly linked to hair loss. However, excessive stress, hormonal changes, or an imbalance caused by any behavior could contribute to hair thinning. If the hair loss is due to stress or hormonal factors, it may be reversible with proper care and treatment. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a personalized approach.
