毛发移植治疗可导致性欲增加,精力增加及性能改善,这是由于在该项治疗的同时使用了一种特异性药物。
治疗措施包括一项被称为FUE(毛囊单位提取)的技术,即从头的后部和两侧提取个别毛囊,将其植入额部和顶部。
但是这个过程本身仅是治疗的一部分,其他部分是被一种称为保法止的药物。
该药的活性成分是非那雄胺,用于治疗男性型斑秃,常与毛发移植一同给药。
在英国,男性型斑秃影响了约600万男性,每年医生都会开出数以千计的该药处方,希望能阻止男性脱发。
这是非常成功的。一些研究已经发现,每十个服用保法止的男性会有九个停止脱发,并且约有65%的会有头发再生。
虽然有一些服用该药的患者出现阴性不良反应,其中一些还表现出阳性不良反应。1%或2%的男性报告有性欲和精力低下,每日邮报引述了伦敦一家私人诊所的外科医生的话说。
"但一些患者出现了相反的情况-性欲增加,精力增加,并且肌肉质量和性能也增加。"
足球明星Wayne Rooney提供了支持这一事实的证据,他在今年早些时候,接受了毛发移植治疗。自治疗后,他在场上的表现有非常大的改善,以至于曼联主帅Alex Ferguson甚至认为他是"白贝利"。
通过在线论坛,有众多的男性报告了这些意想不到的改变。
"在使用保法止1到2个月后,我增长了5磅肌肉……我的饮食和日常生活没有什么改变,所以我猜这应该是保法止引起的,"一位叫做Barry的男性写道。
"我已经服用它好几年了,我的性欲现在似乎增强了(我今年40多岁),"另一个在线用户Mohair补充道。

Hair transplant treatments have strangely led to increased sex drive, more energy and improved performance because of a specific drug prescribed along with treatment.
The treatment encompasses a technique, called FUE (follicular unit extraction), which takes individual follicles out of the back and sides of the head and implants them into the front and crown.
But the procedure itself is only one part of the treatment. The other is a drug called Propecia.
The medication, which contains the active ingredient finasteride, combats male pattern baldness and is routinely prescribed alongside hair transplants.
Male pattern baldness affects about six million British men and doctors write thousands of prescriptions for the drug each year hoping to halt men's hair loss.
It's pretty successful. Some studies have found that nine in ten men taking Propecia stop balding, and around 65 per cent experience regrowth.
Though some of the patients taking the drug experience negative side effects some of them also show the positive side effects. One or two per cent of men report a loss in libido and energy," the Daily Mail quoted a surgeon from a private clinic in London as saying.
"But some of my patients have found the opposite - increased sex drive, more energy and also an increase in muscle mass and performance."
And bearing the testimony to this fact is football star Wayne Rooney, who had a hair transplant treatment earlier this year. Since his treatment, his on field performance has improved drastically, so much so that the Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has even regarded him as 'the white Pele'.
Scouring through the online forums, there are numerous men who have reported these unexpected boosts.
"After one to two months of Propecia, I gained about 5lb of muscle... nothing changed with my diet or lifting routine so I guess it was the Propecia," One, who calls himself Barry, wrote.
"I've been taking it for several years and my sex drive seems to be increased now (I'm in my mid 40s)," another online user, Mohair, added.
