Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query .
Query 1. "from past 2.5 yrs i am experiencing hair fall. my hairfall has become so intense that bald spots are visible moreover hairs around the sides of my head are not at all growing longer compared to the middle part of my head. "
Ans: Masturbation will not have any effect on hair fall.
There is no evidence of association between masturbation and hair fall.
The common causes of hair fall are
1. Hormonal change
2. Certain Medications
3. Fungal Infections of scalp and hair
4. Poor Nutrition
5. Certain Systemic Disorders like Diabetes, Lupus etc
Hence the cause of hair fall may be due to some other reason. You need to consult a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment of hair fall.
Query 2. "whenever i masturbate i also experience back pain. "
Ans: Any physical exertion can cause mild pain. Hence do not worry about the pain. Method and position of you while doing masturbation may be the reason for your backache. Hence change your method and or position of doing masturbation.
Query 3. "memory loss is also a major concern afecting my examinations."
Ans: As I told you earlier that Masturbation has no association with health. Hence do not relate your memory problems with masturbation.
Query 4: "will taking soya beans and XXXXXXX tea help the cause?
is it dht that is affecting me?
will masturbating produce more dht and inturn hair loss? "
Ans: Dihydro Testosterone is not produced by masturbation. In turn Masturbation is the outcome of libido which is initiated by testosterones. If the testosterone is deficient, your desire for sex or masturbation will be less. Testosterone is responsible for secondary sexual characters and male pattern of hair growth.
Query 5: "i am taking 100g of soya beans every day. is that fine?
Do i have to stop masturbating? i heard that soya beans contain estrogen like structures (found in female) which cause breast development and reduce hair growth all over the body. is that true? "
Ans: There is not adequate studies to prove that the phyto oestrogens found in soya bean can alter the hormone levels in men. So 100mg per day is not going to alter your hormone level. There is NO need to stop masturbation since it is a safest and normal method of sexual act. The frequency should be in such a way that it shall not affect the day today activities.
Hope I have cleared all your queries. I shall be available for follow up
regards
