Question: “I’m suffering severe hair loss, I’m an Asian working in London, and during the past few months, my hair has been falling out quite a bit. I have been using Mineral water for hair wash. I also use Mintop and Revlon thickening serum for my hair loss, and I use good herbal oils to massage my hair and leave them in overnight, the day before a head bath. I take good care of my intake and eat a good quantity of soya every day to arrest hair fall. I’m very depressed, as in spite of all this, my hair loss is worse day by day. Please advise. I stopped masturbation as I heard this generates more DHT, resulting in hair loss, so should I stop visiting sites like the Nu Bay index? Please advise what more I can do to control my hair fall. ”
Answer: “I would strongly suggest starting on Propecia as soon as possible. Also, make sure you are using 5% or 6% minoxidil to thicken your hair. Both of them are FDA approved to promote hair regrowth. Diet makes very little difference for hair loss and masturbation has NO effect on DHT levels or hair loss. If you are still concerned, please send me a few photos and your telephone number and I’ll call you to discuss your situation personally.”
