Cycling is becoming increasingly popular for low carbon and environmental protection, but some men worry that cycling can affect prostate health and sexual function. Experts say that in addition to professional athletes who ride for long periods of time, ordinary people should take a break after riding for a period of time, which can improve sexual function.
Experts say cycling can affect sperm worms, possibly due to local compression of the crotch during exercise, leading to poor blood circulation and affecting sperm quality. "If you wear tight clothes and pants for too long while riding a bicycle that are not breathable, it may also increase the temperature of the lower body, and excessive friction with the seat cushion may lead to poor sperm quality and infertility.".
However, this condition is more likely to occur in athletes who ride bicycles for a long time, as they often undergo a large amount of training or competition, thereby compressing the vas deferens and causing infertility. The average person riding a bicycle for leisure should not affect the number of sperm insects.
However, experts also remind that when riding a bicycle, the gravity of the upper body is concentrated on the hips, and if the bicycle handle is lower than the chest position, the upper torso will tilt forward. At this time, the pressure on the perineum connected to the anus will become greater. If the seat cushion is small and hard, it will further cause the prostate located above the perineum to be compressed and stimulated, which can easily cause prostate inflammation over time.
In addition, as long as you don't sit for a long time, raise your hands, sit upright, tilt the cushion forward and down, or add a cushion in your pants. Occasionally, take a short ride and relax for a few minutes, and choose a larger cushion. Sitting upright can disperse the pressure on your perineum during sitting.
It is believed that moderate cycling can actually enhance sexual ability, as cycling can effectively exercise the legs, hips, and abdomen, increasing the strength of the lower abdomen.
