        It’s the result of cooming. Increases oxytocin which increase 5-AR turnover, increasing DHT. If you’re doing it twice a day for weeks, months, or years on end, you’ll suffer the consequence eventually.

            For now. And it isn’t instant, smoothbrain. DHT becomes elevated over time. Glucuronidation doesn’t exceed its accumulation so you’re getting gradually more DHT every day. You’re also increasing the expression of 5-alpha reductase by doing it excessively. Just wait.

            Depends on your diet, existing levels of T and DHT, and the amount of oxytocin produced (last is not easily measured, at least during orgasm, it’s short-lived). If you’re otherwise fit, I’d give a solid decade but you’ll start to notice some thinning by late 20s and noticeable balding by early 30s if you’ve been cooming that much since say 15.

            been cooming 3 times daily since 13 and many of those teen days were up to 10 cooms.
            still no balding.

            Denial is blaming it on something you can influence instead of accepting the real cause which is your genetics

          So having loving relationships, happy experiences, and playing with pets makes me go bald too?
          have a nice day, you hecking stupid parrot. Bro-science is perfectly applicable and valid until reason falls out of the equation, but le "SCIENCE!1!" can no longer be trusted.
          Studies that once said flax and onions are dangerous to testosterone now magically say that they’ve no effect at all.
          That exercise is only for racists & not accepting lardasses and gays is cardinal sin.
          P.S. don’t masturbate, not because of this gay ass’s bullshit reasoning, but because you’ll lose motivation and become soft, and you will also waste your divine seed and vital energy. Vril plummets!

            that would explain why I still have the hairline of a 10 year old..

          You’re right about cooming playing a part in balding. Lots of dudes have porn addiction and the coomer having shitty hair is not just a joke. But I think in OP’s case he might have some medical issue. Balding in a normal form is one thing but losing patches of hair might be another. If I was him I would look into what

          This, balding like that is unnatural and is probably a medical or diet issue

          And

          see a doctor and make sure you don’t have something like ringworm.

          Posted. I too have suspected that balding is caused by parasites eating the nutrients necessary for a healthy body and as a result the body sacrifices the hairline since it considers it not as important as the heart or other organs.

            ‘ringworm’ isn’t actually caused by a parasite (worm), even though it says ‘worm’ in the name. It’s actually caused by a parasitic fungus. It’s easily treatable.

      its alopecia areata
      its never permanent and the growth always usually comes back at unpredictable rates

        This. Nothing to do with DHT/5AR

        I don’t know if you’re stupid or just baiting but that’s not even androgenic alopecia. Nothing to do with DHT.

        People like you are the reason I spend more time posting on Reddit. This site is dying.

    it’s called alopecia areata, I had my first one in May last year. Go to a dermatologist and they should be injecting cortizones into it. The spots can grow bigger and new ones can come. Usually it grows back after months.

    welcome to hell..

        It’s not a dietary issue, the most agreed on diagnosis is stress but the doctors don’t know what specifically causes it. My diet on a typical day is either oatmeal or eggs for lunch. steak/potatoes/pasta/soups/salads/chicken for dinner. Nothing special.

        there are alcoholics in their 60s who barely eat and still have a full head of hair
        its genetic and triggered from factors like stress

    had this in high school, had like two or three spots on the back of my head. they got bigger and I grew my hair out to cover the back of my head while I got treatment. I was sent to a dermatologist and they injected a steroid in several spots on my back of my head, and I was given a cream to put on the area at night. for the next year I agonized over whether it would grow back. finally my hair got long enough (to my shoulders) where it was always covered and I more or less forgot about it. now, 8 years later, my hair is strong and thick and the condition hasn’t returned.

    TL;DR go to the doctor alopecia areata can be fixed

    thanks for reading my blog

      same and last time I went to the doc they said "its all fine now" but every time my head itches i keep getting the fears that it’s back. Worst year of my life ngl.

        I remember the spots being a bit itchy too. I unironically think the biggest factor was me forgetting about it and moving on with my life. the more I thought about it and looked at the area with a mirror the worse it got. I actually forgot that my hair was falling out when it got long enough to cover the spots, and now it’s thicker than ever (barbers comment on how thick my hair is every time I get a haircut)

          oh yeah I was a runner and went to the gym but stopped because everytime it started to sweat the itch was getting pretty bad cause i couldnt scratch, cause if i did i had hair on my fingers and it would bum me the heck out. The mental shit it causes is definately the worst part.

            Imagine the mental stress of actually going bald (MPB not alopecia) I feel bad for the baldbros that post here. my uncle on my mom’s side went bald but he’s the only one, everyone else on her side and on my dad’s side has a full head of hair, including my 80-year old grandpa. but I know the gene is present, only time will tell if I got hecked or not.
            alopecia is an actual treatable condition though, you have no reason to fear. even if it comes back it can be fixed. it’s actual balding you should be worried about, at the first sign of recession get on fin if you want to have a chance at keeping your hairline. I’ve already resolved that the instant I notice my hairline receding I’m getting on fin and minox, heck what anyone says I’m not going bald in my 20s or 30s

          I got this after growing my hair out for 2 years
          unfair that I have to regrow for that long again
          but its easier to cover up since I have long hair

    Need an advice on minoxidil and microneedling.
    How effective is it? And how frequent do I need to microneedle?

    Iv had this happen to me after a serious reaction to a antibiotic. It’s alopecia and it will grow back slowly over time. Don’t worry anon. It can be trigger by being extremely stressed out for long periods of time (days or weeks)

    Friend got hairloss like that in his 20s. IIRC the doc said it was some immune system disease thing. Like his own immune system was attacking his hair or something. It’s been quite a few years and I’ve lost touch with that guy so I can’t ask for info. Go see a doc.

    That sounds like a symptom of a bigger issue.
    You should probably go to a doctor and get your bloodwork done.

    As someone who has actually had this let me actually tell you the truth and give some good advice unlike half these useless stupids.

    What you have is alopecia areata. It is an autoimmune disease. You can’t really do much to stop it but you should try to improve your physical and mental health regardless by reducing stress and pray that it goes away with time like it did for me.

    I understand how much of a confidence killer this is. As someone who wasn’t particularly confident in the first place, the emergence of these spots completely shattered any shred of confidence I had left. However, I did get sort of used to it with time.

    I recommend you grow your hair longer so that the patches are less apparent. You can also get hair fibres that you apply on the spot which further helps the same cause. The fibres latch onto the surrounding hair making them thicker thus helping to hide the patches.

    I was fortunate enough to have my patches disappear with time. They would disappear from one spot and reappear elsewhere. Docs gave me meds (steroid cream) which I didn’t touch at all. Eventually after ~1 and a half years, the patches were gone for good. All I took during this period was vitamin D but I don’t think it is fair to attribute my recovery to this.

    Honestly, the main thing is learning how to live with it because there is no magic medicine that will make it disappear. If you are not as fortunate as I was, you could take the nuclear option and go bald. Just make sure you grow a beard with it unless you have a great jawline and facial structure that makes you look good bald.

    p.s. There is no point visiting the alopecia areata subreddit, it is hecking stupid. Just simps upvoting women as usual.

      Bonus advice

      Depending on the placement of your patches you could get a skin fade (use the foil shaver) so that it all looks like skin. However, this only lasts for a few days until it becomes aplarent again due to hair growth.

      If your patches are starting to grow hair again, you could try dermarolling/dermastamping to hasten the hair regrowth. You could also apply minoxidil alongside this but make sure you do so appropriately and safely.

      Of course, if you are initially really insecure about it, you could wear a beanie or durag if you’re black.

      That’s all I can think of off the top of my head. It’s a hecking stupid ass condition and I hope you regain your confidence back.
      God speed anon <3

    My dad when he was mid 50s got the same issue. Went to Switzerland, came back and he got this weird balding thing on the top and back of his head. I remember going with him to an Oxford research centre and yeah, it was over…they tried different things. Even went to a Chinese medicine place where he drank this disgusting tea. Sorry man
