Male underpants can be the bane of infertility
Ninety percent of men believe that underwear should only serve as a cover for shame, regardless of its fashion or other effects. In fact, the role of men wearing underwear is to protect the testicles, because the testicles are 2 degrees Celsius lower than the normal temperature of the body, and wearing underwear can also reduce friction between the thighs and outer pants.
From the perspective of men's underwear design, the scrotum and "penis" are often treated equally and tightly wrapped in a double layer of fabric. When working, driving, or sitting still for a long time, wearing underpants that are too tight not only causes poor ventilation, but also tightly presses the testicles against the perineum, making the scrotum unable to relax itself. Over time, the temperature of the scrotum itself will rise, leading to problems such as malformation, necrosis, and decreased activity of sperm within the scrotum.
Although underwear is small, it is related to the overall health situation. First of all, the fabric of underwear is very important. An Egyptian medical doctor named Shafik has discovered through 20 years of research that chemical fiber underwear may cause male oligospermia, casting a shadow over fertility.
Research data show that men wearing pure polyester underwear have a significant decrease in sperm count from nearly 40% to 14 months of age, while men wearing semi cotton and semi polyester blended underwear have a decrease in sperm count from about 9% to 10 months of age, while men wearing pure cotton underwear have no changes in semen. In addition, most men with semen changes return to normal after replacing their chemical fiber underwear for 4 to 8 months.
This study confirmed that polyester underwear has a temporary inhibitory effect on sperm production. It raises the temperature of the testicles and lowers plasma hormone levels, leading to oligospermia.
This is one of the consequences of wearing underpants incorrectly:
Cause infertility and deprive you of your right to be a father. "But the issue of underwear is not just for unmarried men to take seriously. Dr. Shafik also warned those who have become fathers that polyester chemical fiber fabrics can create electrostatic fields in penis tissue, weaken a man's sexual function, and even tie you to sexual apathy.".
Cotton underwear should be safe?
Not entirely. If you are overweight and sweaty, especially if you drive frequently, pure cotton underwear can cause skin diseases such as eczema and heat rash. "Although pure cotton absorbs sweat, it is not easy to dry. Frequent sweating can breed bacteria, which in addition to bringing you a feeling of discomfort when wet, can also cause" incidents "such as redness, swelling, and itching in the perineum, which can become a hidden cause for you.".
When choosing underwear, you must also pay attention to the appropriate tightness, otherwise it can also cause many problems. Hospital urologists have found that many men have penile deformities and varying degrees of curvature. The reason for this is that wearing tight underwear is often to blame. Under the constraint of tight underwear, the penis has been subjected to pressure for a long time, how can it not be bent?
"Now you should understand that underwear is not a small matter, but has multiple functions, such as protecting sexual organs, reducing friction between thighs and outer pants, and preventing odor leakage. However, selecting underwear is not complicated. To sum up, when wearing pure cotton underwear, pay attention to keeping your private areas dry.".
