A few days ago, 20 adult males were tested.
They fixed a special short thermometer to the surface of the subject's scrotum. The subjects walked first and then drove for 160 minutes. During the first 20 minutes of driving, the average scrotal temperature of the subject varied from 34. 2 ℃ rises to 35. 5℃。 Within the next two hours, the scrotal temperature reached 36 or 2 ℃. The average temperature during driving is 2% higher than when walking. 2℃。
Fever in the scrotum is not a good thing. "Long term driving can cause an increase in scrotal temperature, which can have a negative impact on sperm production in the testicles, resulting in a decrease in sperm count and an increase in the proportion of abnormal sperm.". In addition, male scrotum has greater flexibility and secretes more sweat. In addition, due to poor ventilation of the vulva, it is easy to hide dirt and accept dirt. Local bacteria often take advantage of this situation, which can lead to prostatitis, prostate hypertrophy, decreased sexual function, and serious infections if not noticed.
For example, driving air-conditioned cars in hot summer can have similar problems. There is a case where a young man, Wang, just bought a private car this summer and happily drives to and from work, picks up and sees off his girlfriend, and goes on an outing every day. Who knows, I recently discovered that I have difficulty urinating. After going to the hospital for an examination, I was diagnosed with prostatitis due to long-term driving in an air-conditioned car.
Since August, the number of drivers who have come to the hospital to treat prostatitis has continued to increase. In addition to taxi drivers, there are also many private car owners. The reason for this is that they have been sitting in air-conditioned vehicles for a long time and are not ventilated, which leads to poor blood circulation in the reproductive region and impedes the discharge of prostate fluid, leading to chronic congestion of the prostate, leading to aseptic prostatitis.
Andrologists have warned that men should pay attention to the size and thickness of their underwear and outer pants when driving, and try to fully dissipate heat from the scrotum. After driving for two hours continuously, it is best to get off and rest for a few minutes.
