Fenugreek. If your sperm volume is decreased that much though you should stop taking finasteride. You could try RU instead.
Tried ru years ago just very bad experiences. Also I dont want to be a slave to daily topical applications. But ye buying fenugreek. Do u recommend DIM to block the excess estrogen finasteride causes?

The answer is two-fold.
1.Serum prolactin does matter if it's higher than normal. Hyerprolacinenemia(high serum prolactin) causes severe hair loss in the Androgenetic Alopecia pattern.
2.Even worse, masturbation promotes prolactin in the prostate and penile tissue rather than just the pituitary gland. Hair follicles likely have the same promoter so intrafollicular prolactin likely also rise sharply.
Holy sh*t!

Does fantasizing without masturbation will cause prolactin secretion?

I don't know about that. Baldness among young men has increased dramatically since pornhub was started, even in China. This is just anecdotal, but I do notice when I see young guys balding they tend to be shut-ins, who would be likely to be doing a lot of masturbating. Incel types rather than popular guys with a busy schedule

I don't think you'll see anyone regrowing their hair on nofap. Once the damage is done it's incredibly difficult to reverse.
Nofap will not regrow hair obviously, but a lot of guys are saying it reduced their loss or even stopped it
