Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic Hair fall can be due to multiple causes. Masturbation has no role whatsoever in increasing hair fall. Common causes being androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Family history is of importance in androgenetic alopecia. Presence of family history in uncles, nephews and cousins is also significant and therefore absence of family history in first degree relatives like father and brother does not rule out androgenetic alopecia. Telogen effluvium on the other hand is due to shift of hair follicle from anagen(growth phase) to telogen (shedding phase). Once hair enters teolgen it will be shed over the next 2-3 months. Various triggering factors for shifting hair from anagen to telogen are either dietary like deficient Iron stores; preceding illness like dengue, malaria, jaundice; preceding surgery; post-partum etc. Treatment would vary depending on the diagnosis. Treatment options include topical minoxidil and Oral finasteride for androgenetic alopecia and topical minoxidil along with biotin supplement for telogen effluium. I suggest that you seek an appointment with a dermatologist in your region for the needful. Regards
