Question
I am a 26 , I feel pain after ejaculating more than 2 times a day in the area of vas deferens, and it takes 2 or three days to calm. Does it due to excessive ejaculation ? and does it affect hair-loss or eyesight?

Answer
I don't know what you've been hearing, but hair loss and eyesight problems are not related to masturbation or ejaculation.  Pain after ejaculation is not normal so it cannot be easily explained from just your brief description.  Also, the vas deferens is over 12 inches long so the location is not clear although I suspect you're talking about the testicle.  If so, then your pain might actually be from the epididymis or another part of the testicle since the vas itself rarely causes pain.

A urology consultation for an examination should clarify your situation.  A testicular ultrasound might be recommended to get a better idea of what is actually happening.
