A top hair surgeon is warning randy blokes that 'too much' masturbation can cause hair loss - but reassures them it's only if they're pleasuring themselves 'non-stop'. Hair transplant surgeon Dr Umear Ahmad, from award-winning hair transplant clinic Juvida, said concerned blokes have quizzed him over whether masturbation is jeopardising their chances of enjoying a luscious head of hair.
Dr Ahmad said that although vitamin A, found in semen, is important regarding hair loss an individual would need to be 'pretty much non-stop masturbating' to see any noticeable difference in their hairline. The surgeon said that a balanced diet rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals is important for maintaining a healthy head of hair.
Dr Ahmad said: "You'd have to be quite severely vitamin A deficient before you had a noticeable deterioration in your hair line. You'd have to be pretty much non-stop masturbating throughout the day before it had any sort of effect on your hair. Theoretically, if you masturbated enough, the answer is yes, but actually on a practical level it's not going to really have any real effect on hair loss."
