Does sleeping posture have adverse effects on sexual function? Mr. Li, a student from a university, had to remove one side of the testicle due to improper sleep posture, testicular necrosis and untimely treatment, which affected the function.
Sleeping on the side can easily damage the testicles
While sleeping, Mr. Li was suddenly awakened by severe scrotal pain and sweated all over. His classmates rushed him to a small clinic nearby. After taking medicine and injection, the pain was slightly relieved, because Xiao Li did not go to the regular hospital for treatment because the exam was about to take place. A few days later, his condition did not improve. He went to the urology department of the hospital and was diagnosed with left testicular torsion and necrosis. He must be removed immediately.
The professor who was examined said that the testicle itself would not be twisted, but the spermatic cord on the testicle would be twisted.
Because the blood vessels that provide nutrition and transport metabolic waste for the testis pass through the spermatic cord, the testis starve after the spermatic cord node, and generally die of ischemia after more than 12 hours.
The professor reminded that although nearly half of the patients with testicular torsion developed after vigorous exercise, when sleeping on the side, the testicles were pressed between the legs, which was more obvious than when standing, and testicular torsion was also easy to occur.
Infants and adolescents suddenly appear scrotal swelling and severe pain during intense exercise and sleep. If testicular torsion is suspected, go to the urology department of the regular hospital immediately. If the diagnosis is timely, you can try manual or emergency surgical reduction to greatly protect male characteristics and reproductive function.
How to maintain testicles?
1. Men pay attention to the maintenance of testicles. When massaging, they find abnormal pain, which may be orchitis and orchitis. Please check in the hospital immediately.
2. In daily life, male friends should eat more foods containing vitamin C. Because vitamins help to resist bacteria, inflammation and improve your immunity. The high substances containing vitamin C include carrots, vegetables, apples, oranges, grapes and other fresh vegetables and fruits.
3. Eat less fish soup, mutton, pig's feet and other so-called hair products. These foods will increase the inflammatory secretion of inflammatory parts, further infiltration and spread of orchitis, aggravate symptoms, and avoid spicy food and stimulating food. These will affect the normal physiological function of the testis.
4. Try to reduce smoking and drinking at ordinary times. Smoking is not only harmful to the lungs, but also to the testicles.
