Is male reproductive health related to sleeping posture? What are the benefits of sleeping naked for men

Does a man's sleeping posture have an impact on his health? For men, the best sleeping position is supine with legs apart; Both prone and lateral positions may have adverse effects on the male reproductive system. Additionally, there are many benefits to men from sleeping naked. Let's learn about men's sleep health issues together.

Be wary of the following sleeping positions that can harm male reproductive health

prostrate

Many men may ask, "Isn't sleeping on the stomach good? Sleeping on the stomach can help you sleep soundly!" In fact, sleeping on the stomach, that is, lying on the stomach, not only compresses the internal organs, leading to poor breathing, long-term damage to visceral function, but 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; When the scrotum is compressed and the heat cannot be effectively dissipated, it can increase the temperature of the scrotum, have a negative impact on the spermatogenic function of the testicles, and reduce male fertility. Therefore, men who have not yet achieved "fatherhood" should pay special attention and never lie prone.

Lying on the left side

Due to the fact that the heart is located on the left side of the body, when men adopt a left side sleeping position, the heart will be compressed, making it difficult for them to sleep stably and easily leading to poor sleep quality. Moreover, 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

Right recumbent

It's not good to lie prone, and it's also not good to lie on the left side. Is it good to lie on the right side? Indeed, lying on the right side neither compresses the heart nor the reproductive organs, making it a good sleeping position, but not every male is suitable for sleeping on the right side. Medical experts have found that whether lying on the left or right side, it is possible to cause unexpected testicular torsion.

The testicles "reside" within the scrotum, connected to the body through a tissue called the spermatic cord on both sides. The spermatic cord has blood vessels that provide blood circulation to the testicles. When men sleep in a lateral position, the testicles and penis are squeezed between their legs, and the pressure they bear is much more pronounced than when standing.

Some men, especially teenagers, move around and twist their legs during sleep, which may cause twisting and knotting of the spermatic cord. Due to the passage of blood vessels that supply nutrients and excrete metabolites to the testes through the spermatic cord, once the spermatic cord undergoes torsion, the testes cannot receive nutrients and metabolites cannot be excreted. If the torsion time exceeds 12 hours, the testes may experience ischemia and necrosis.
