Hair Transplant and Sexuality
Hair loss can cause a lack of self-confidence and an increase in psychological stress levels in many men and women. This lack of confidence and stress can also negatively affect their sexual life. Hair loss may lead to serious issues such as early baldness in men, which can further decrease their self-esteem and affect intimacy. The time one can return to sexual activity after hair transplant surgery depends on the hair transplant method and the individual's recovery process. Generally, it takes 10 days for the scalp wounds to heal and for the grafted area to recover. During this period, sexual activities should be avoided. Excessive sweating can damage the grafts, so experts recommend avoiding intercourse during the first 10 days. A hair transplant does not directly decrease sexual desire. However, during the recovery period, the need for rest and healing may temporarily affect physical energy and routines. Cosmetic surgeries like hair transplantation often help increase a person's confidence. However, psychological effects after surgery can vary from person to person. Resolving hair loss with transplantation may significantly boost confidence and have a positive impact on sexual life. No major change in sexual life is expected after hair transplantation. Still, resting and limiting activity in the first 10 days is important. Before resuming sexual activity, ensure that the healing process is complete. This recovery period typically lasts around 2–3 weeks but may vary.
