Everyone has their own favorite sleeping habits, but have male friends taken care of their little brothers while sleeping? Some sleeping positions have a very negative impact on the male genitalia. Let's take a look at sleeping positions that are not conducive to men.
Sleeping on the stomach is not conducive to health
Nowadays, many people like to sleep on their stomach, feeling that they can sleep soundly. In fact, this posture not only compresses the internal organs, leading to poor breathing, but also compresses the reproductive systems such as the scrotum and penis, affecting blood circulation. In addition, this posture is not conducive to scrotal heat dissipation and also has adverse effects on sperm production.
Some people say that lying on the right side neither compresses the heart nor the scrotum, so it should be a good sleeping position. But they overlooked an unexpected condition - testicular torsion.
This disease is often seen in adolescents aged 12-18 with a lean physique. In theory, it is not the testicles themselves that undergo torsion, but a spermatic cord like a rope on top, which undergoes twisting and "knotting". Due to the passage of blood vessels that supply nutrients and transport metabolites to the testicles, once the spermatic cord is "knotted", the testicles will "starve", and if it exceeds 12 hours, they will experience ischemia and necrosis.
Most patients with testicular torsion develop symptoms after intense exercise, but some also occur during lateral sleep. This is because during sleep, the testicles and penis are compressed between the legs, and the pressure on the reproductive organs is more pronounced than when standing. In addition, some people have poor sleeping posture, causing their legs to twist and turn, causing the spermatic cord to be "rubbed" into a ball, making it more prone to accidents.
How to choose a sleeping position
1. Prone position
Not only does it compress the internal organs, leading to poor breathing and long-term damage to visceral function, but it also compresses the reproductive system. The penis is compressed, hindering blood circulation, and can easily cause frequent ejaculation, causing symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue in men, affecting normal work and life; The scrotum is compressed and the heat cannot be effectively dissipated, which can increase the temperature of the scrotum and have a negative impact on the spermatogenic function of the testicles, reducing male fertility.
2. Lying on the left side
The heart can be compressed, which can easily lead to poor sleep quality. And when the heart is compressed, the blood circulation throughout the male body, including the reproductive organs, slows down. When the reproductive organs do not receive sufficient blood supply for a long time, it may cause male erectile dysfunction
