Is it true that hair on the palms can grow from masturbation?

The concern is widespread that self -satisfaction can lead to unwanted vegetation on the palms. We checked whether such fear is justified.

Question, can the hair on the palms grow from masturbation, occupies resource users p questions And answers. IN Mediaas well as in female And male magazines They tellLike parents scare In a similar way, children. They beat this fear in the cinema: in particular, Captain Mauser from "Hairy palms, hairy palms from"Police Academy"And Dean Winchester from"Supernatural".

Hair - These are skin appendages, thread -like processes, consisting of epithelial cells and forming the outer cover of mammals, including humans. Hair grow From hair follicles, popularly called hair bulbs, they are normal Located On the skin along the entire surface of the body, with the exception of only a few areas, including palms. Absolutely all hairlines laid During the intrauterine development of the fetus, after the birth and as the same person, new ones do not appear. No human sexual behavior can return it to the period of embryonic development and contribute to the laying on the palms of hair follicles.

However, several cases of hair appearance on the palms in science are documented, although they are in no way connected with masturbation. In 1976 in the scientific journal Archives of Dermatology Scottish doctors Described unique patient. Being a child, he damaged his right hand, the little finger had to be amputated, also during treatment the boy was performed autodermoplasty - a plastic surgeon took a area of ​​the skin from the lower abdomen and sewed the graft on the palm of his hand. During puberty, as the hair grows in the remaining areas of the body, the transplanted area of ​​the skin was also covered with hair. The patient lived calmly with his hair in the palm of his hand, until one of the hair follicles became inflamed and formed carbuncle. Doctors prescribed antibiotics to the patient, and the inflammatory process was won. The photo posted in the magazine shows that there is no little finger on the patient’s hand, and the inflamed part of the palm is partially covered with hairs.

Also, an extremely rare genetic disease called limited dysambhylas palms can cause hair growth on your palms. As can be seen from the word "dizambotlas", we are talking about the error of embryonic development and this is in no way associated with the subsequent sexual behavior of a person. In 1975, American scientists Described Four generations of the Franco-Canadian family suffering from this disease. All men in this family on the proximal (that is, located closer to the wrist) of the part of the palm and on the medial line of the longitudinal (that is, from heel to sock) the arc of the foot had small areas covered with hair. Such a feature did not cause any discomfort to patients. This, according to the authors of the article, the second documented case of such a pathology, the previous one was Described In 1973. In the first case, pathology developed not only in men, but also in women - the hair on skin areas on both palms was herself for help from the patient, his grandfather on the maternal line, his mother and one of his daughters. However, this disease is so rare that others There are no described cases of limited dysambrioplasia of palms in the scientific literature. Even on the website of the information center of genetic and rare diseases of the United States (GARD), where they collect all available information on the topic, page This pathology exists, but not a single section is filled.

Thus, do not give up masturbation due to fears that undesirable vegetation will appear on the palms. In addition, modern researchers agree that this lesson for humans is extremely healthy - masturbation improves both physical and mental health, in particular Promotes reducing menstrual pain and lower back pain during pregnancy, Reduces The risk of developing some types Cancer, Raises immunity, Improves Sleep, prevents anxiety and depression.
