Nowadays, cars can be seen everywhere on the main roads, and bicycles are relatively rare. I believe many people have come into contact with bicycles. Nowadays, due to air pollution and other reasons, everyone advocates green travel. In addition to using their own legs and feet, the main means of transportation for green travel is bicycles. Many men enjoy riding bicycles to exercise, which is a highly commendable method of fitness. However, some experts have pointed out that if men feel uncomfortable riding bicycles, they may easily damage the prostate.
Can a man also hurt his prostate when riding a bicycle?
The prostate is the largest accessory gland in the male reproductive organs. It secretes white mucus and participates in the composition of semen. The prostate gland is located behind and below the bladder, in a miliary shape that surrounds the upper end of the urethra. That is, its position is just at the bottom of the human pelvis, near the perineum. If riding a bicycle with improper attention, it can cause excessive stimulation of the prostate, causing it to swell, congest, or damage, resulting in impeded excretion of prostate fluid, leading to prostate inflammation.
The main cause of prostatitis caused by cycling is incorrect riding posture. If the seat is too high, it is not suitable for riding a bicycle with a short stature. This not only causes discomfort and uncoordinated movements when riding a bicycle, but also causes constant friction between the perineum and the seat due to the cyclist being forced to swing up and down from side to side. Especially if the front of the seat is high and the rider's center of gravity is rearward, or if the road is rough and uneven and the vehicle is severely limping while driving, it is more likely to stimulate the perineum, causing prostate congestion, swelling, and damage.
"When the prostate is inflamed, the early manifestations are mainly swelling and pain in the perineum, a feeling of sagging in the anus, and sometimes a small amount of white liquid drips out of the urethra after urination.". Over time, it can also lead to hypertrophy of the prostate, which compresses the bladder; This causes poor urination, weakness in urination, thinning, branching, and even intermittent urination, making it difficult for patients to fully urinate every time they urinate, as the frequency of urination increases, especially at night.
Nowadays, cars can be seen everywhere on the main roads, and bicycles are relatively rare. I believe many people have come into contact with bicycles. How can we prevent prostate damage caused by cycling? The main thing is to adjust the first car seat, which should not be too high or too low. In addition, the material of the car seat is generally soft and not too hard. In addition, the angle of the car seat also needs to be adjusted so that the front half of the car seat is higher than the rear half.
