Prone position
Many men will ask, "Isn't sleeping on their stomach good? Sleeping on their stomach can make them sleep soundly!" In fact, men sleeping on their stomach, that is, lying on their backs, not only oppresses the internal organs, resulting in poor breathing, over time, damaging the internal organs' function, but also oppressing the reproductive system.
The penis is compressed, hindering blood circulation, easily causing frequent ejaculation, causing dizziness, fatigue, and other symptoms in men, affecting normal work and life; "When the scrotum is compressed and the heat cannot be dissipated effectively, it can increase the temperature of the scrotum, adversely affect the spermatogenic function of the testis, and reduce male fertility. Therefore, men who have not yet achieved" paternity "should pay particular attention to not lying prone.".
Lying on the left side
Due to the fact that the heart is located on the left side of the body, when a man sleeps in a left lying position, the heart can be oppressed, making people restless and prone to poor sleep quality. Moreover, when the heart is compressed, the blood circulation throughout the male body will slow down, including in the reproductive organs. 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, nor is it good to lie on the left side. Is it good to lie on the right side?"? "It is true that lying on the right side neither oppresses the heart nor the reproductive organs, making it a better sleeping position, but not every male is suitable for sleeping on the right side.". Medical experts have discovered that whether lying on the left or right side can lead to an unexpected occurrence - testicular torsion.
The testicles "reside" within the scrotum, each connected to the body through a tissue called the spermatic cord. The spermatic cord has blood vessels that provide blood circulation to the testicles. When men sleep in a lateral sleeping position, the testicles and penis are squeezed between their legs, and the pressure they bear is significantly greater 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. As the blood vessels that supply nutrients and excrete metabolites to the testis pass through the spermatic cord, once the spermatic cord undergoes torsion, the testis cannot receive nutrients and excrete metabolites. If the torsion lasts for more than 12 hours, the testis may suffer from ischemia and necrosis.
Therefore, lying on the right side is not the best sleeping position for men. If men insist on lying on the right side, they should also pay attention to their "sleeping posture" and avoid moving and twisting.
