Men with strong sexual desire may be at higher risk of hair loss

There have always been many "legends" between male baldness and sexual ability. In Russia, people believe that bald men have strong sexual desire and strong sexual ability, while in Southeast Asia, people tend to believe that bald men have poor physical fitness and low sexual desire. Recently, a study published in the American media pointed out that if men have too strong sexual desire, they will have a higher risk of hair loss in the future.

Researchers in Kansas, USA, surveyed 879 men, ranging in age from 40 to 60 years old. The researchers first asked about their sexual habits, including sexual desire and frequency, and evaluated their hair loss. The results showed that in middle-aged and young men, the more vigorous the sexual desire of men, the more likely they were to suffer from hair loss.

Researchers analyzed that this is closely related to the testosterone level in men. Testosterone is the most important male hormone in the male body. It combines with an enzyme in the human body and is converted into dihydrotestosterone. In addition to maintaining a man's normal sexual desire, dihydrotestosterone can also make muscles more developed and body hair thicker. However, too much dihydrotestosterone will cause hair follicles to mature prematurely, shortening the hair growth cycle, causing the hair to stop growing prematurely and then fall out.
