The relationship between hair loss and male masturbation

Hair loss in men is very common as they age. Masturbation is also very common in men, so naturally there have been people who tried to use hair loss and baldness as reasons to avoid what some considered a sinful or unnatural act. However, if logic is applied to the subject, it is very difficult to see a difference between masturbation and normal sexual intercourse with a partner that results in ejaculation. Both produce a climax and both result in the release of seminal fluid. So, on this basis, it can be concluded that there is no connection between the development of male pattern baldness and frequent masturbation. So now, in more liberal times, when wife tales and other moral admonitions have faded in importance, this alleged connection has generally been deemed false and without any basis in fact.

However, during more recent and advanced studies into the causes of hair loss, it was discovered that a byproduct produced by the body from the male sex hormone testosterone, called DHT, tends to increase the rate of hair loss. DHT is short for Dihydrotestosterone, and since Testosterone is related to sexual functions, the possibility of a link between frequent sexual arousal, sexual intercourse leading to ejaculation, and also masturbation has become suspicious and has been realized. additional studies to see if there may be any truth to the claim. ancient belief that frequent male masturbation can lead to premature baldness.

DHT is not usually present in significant amounts in the body, but when ejaculation occurs frequently, it turns out that some of the testosterone is converted to DHT. Unusually high levels of DHT can cause a number of conditions, one of which is an enlarged prostate gland. But another effect is that more DHT is found near the hair roots, which can affect the hair growth cycle and cause the hair to shed sooner from the follicle.

If this research is correct, it would be of interest to know how to reduce the production and accumulation of DHT. One way is to reduce the frequency of ejaculation, either through normal intercourse or through masturbation. This can be asking a lot of men who have the urge to orgasm frequently. In fact, refraining from ejaculating often causes another painful condition, the so-called “blue balls” feeling of pain and tightness.

Other “clothes” may be easier to control. One is to avoid eating red meats like pork and beef. Chicken, turkey, and fish have no effect on DHT production. One’s diet should include more vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts.

Finally, DHT can be removed from the scalp and follicles through the use of certain hair treatments and shampoos that contain additives that remove DHT. Diet and hair treatments can be combined, perhaps with a reduction in masturbation as well, to achieve successful reduction in hair loss.
