Relationship Between Hair Loss and Masturbation
Anyone who has ever experienced hair loss and gotten curious to research the various reasons has probably come across legends like handjob is a common cause. Besides hair loss, you are likely to read other masturbation myths that it results in blindness, permanent genital damage, causes hair growth on your palms and infertility. However, according to Dr. Martin Maag in Lakewood Ranch, no scientific proof links masturbation to male pattern baldness. Additionally, there is no existing relationship between sex or ejaculations to your hair’s health.
What are the myths and facts relating masturbation to hair loss?
Masturbation is perfectly healthy. Additionally, it is usual to masturbate for various health reasons, including helping you understand your sensations and your pleasure centers. Besides sexual pleasure, masturbation strengthens and supports your genitals’ nerve, muscular and circulatory systems. On the other hand, masturbation’s link to hair loss has good backing, thanks to the protein-filled ejaculate in every ejaculation. Below, we look at the myths surrounding masturbation and hair loss.
Masturbation affects your protein levels, causing hair loss
As your system’s building block, proteins play a crucial role in the development of everything, including your nails, hair, internal organs and muscles. Keratin is a significant component of hair formation and is essential for the health of your shafts. Unfortunately, keratin malnutrition threatens hair loss, causing your hair strands to fall. The idea behind masturbation and hair loss is that semen is protein-filled. Therefore, every ejaculation robs your body of a vital nutrient that your system can use to enhance your hair’s health.
Though it is a fact that every ejaculate contains proteins, sex and masturbation might not lower the nutrient levels your hair follicles need by a significant amount. Thus, you might need to have intercourse or masturbate at least 30times daily to affect your hair’s protein levels.
· Masturbation causes DHT production
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) as a male sex hormone is a common cause of male pattern baldness. The hormone is most likely to attach to hormone receptors throughout your scalp, causing the strands near the hairline to thin. A standard norm linking masturbation to hair loss is that masturbation releases various hormones, including DHT.
Masturbation results in hormonal imbalance
Though an ejaculate might affect your hormone levels, the effect is temporary and might not affect the health of your hair strands. Oxytocin is a significant hormone you will release during ejaculation and orgasm. However, the hormone does not affect hair loss. Instead, the peptide hormone triggers the brain’s pleasure centers, making sex or masturbation pleasurable.
If masturbation were a common hair loss cause, a significant percentage of the world population would be bald since it affects both males and females. Several reasons cause your hair to fall. Thus, you may need to talk to your doctor about it to help you find a solution, with a detailed medical history and a thorough assessment.
Male pattern baldness results from various reasons, including genetics and an androgen hormone (DHT) your system produces testosterone as a by-product. However, masturbation has no relationship between thinning or loss of your hair. Call your doctor to clarify other hair loss myths and discuss your unique concerns about the condition.
