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?

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.

View allI've been dealing with male pattern alopecia and recently saw a dermatologist. She recommended I use Qilib spray, Androanegen Tablet, 1 ml of Minoxidil 10 daily, and Finax 1 mg daily. I've read so much about Finax and its potential risks for men, and I'm quite concerned because I know Finasteride has been banned in several countries. Do you think I should see another doctor for a second opinion or stick with these meds? Also, I've been on high-quality lean whey protein for about 45 months since I work out regularly, but no steroids. Can you provide some detailed advice?
Finax, which contains Finasteride, is commonly used for male pattern alopecia but can have potential side effects. However, it is important to note that the decision to continue or discontinue a medication should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider. In the case of male pattern alopecia, the medications suggested by your dermatologist are commonly used to help with hair loss. Qilib spray, Androanagen Tablet, Minoxidil 10%, and Finax 1 mg are all aimed at addressing this issue. If you have reservations about Finax, you can discuss alternative treatment options with your dermatologist. They may be able to suggest other medications or therapies that could be effective for you.

I'm dealing with hair loss, dandruff, and an itchy scalp, and a dermatologist at DHI suggested I try keraglo men. I'm worried and have some questions about it. First, is it really safe to take keraglo men? If I decide to stop, will there be any side effects? Are there any other supplements I should consider using alongside it, and what happens if I stop them too? I'm also curious if I can take Becosules along with keraglo men. Id appreciate any additional insight you might have.
