A member asked:

Does having a nocturnal emission elevate dht and cause any permanent hair loss in men?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

No...: Nocturnal emission is normal for all men but with widely variable frequency over lifetime and denotes male hormone works well. Hair loss is a lifelong event resulting from genetic factors, male hormonal effect, and life style. For the time being, I would not spend much time and mind to worry about it. So, to seek for sensible care, go to see a sensible Doc for further advice. Best wish...
