I have hair fall and my hairline is receding. I started taking treatment from my 10th std when I was 16 years old in care. Then after being not satisfied I went to another skin doctor who prescribed saw palmetto tablets and biotin and minoxidil for 6 months. Now I changed the doctor and he prescribed finasteride 1 mg twice daily and minoxidil 10% and biotin tablet and I have been taking it foe a year. My hair density has not increased much. My frontal area seems to be decreasing only even though I take tablets. I am 19 years old and my problem is when I wanna masturbate I find difficult to get an erection. It really worries me a lot. I am really afraid as I have seen in the internet that it would give sexual side effects. Does masturbation affect hairloss? And how to overcome that erection problem? How to get dense and full hair? Pls suggest.

Hi lybrate-user, The only permanent treatment available (as of now) to grow new hair in the area of hair loss is Hair Transplantation (HT), Hair Transplant (HT) is a surgical procedure done under local anesthesia where hair roots are taken usually from the back side of the head (where there is permanently growing, genetically strong and hormone resistant hairs) and planted in the area of hair loss in the front. Because these roots are hormone resistant they grow permanently in the planted area. The transplanted hairs start growing after about 4 months. You can have them cut, colourd, styled, oil, massage, shampoo or even shave on regular bases. You do not lose these hairs. Unlike old Plug method or Mini or Micro method the modern Follicular method harvests individual Hair roots (also known as Follicular Units or Grafts). Well there are 2 modern methods of HT. Please visit Hair Transplant clinics in your area. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
