Sexual Health
Sleeping posture affects men's sexuality and ability! Is your sleeping posture correct
Does sleeping posture have a "bad effect" on sexual function? The answer is yes. For men, the best sleeping position is to lie on your back with your legs apart; Both prone and lateral positions may have adverse effects on the male reproductive system.
1 prone
Not only does it compress the internal organs, resulting in poor breathing, but over time, it can damage the internal organs' function, and even oppress 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 testicle, and reduce male fertility.
2 lateral decubitus
The heart can be compressed, which can easily lead to poor sleep quality. Moreover, when the heart is compressed, the blood circulation throughout the male body will slow down, including the blood circulation of the reproductive organs. When the reproductive organs do not receive sufficient blood supply for a long time, it may cause male erectile dysfunction.
3 Right side recumbent
Not every male is suitable for sleeping in a right lateral position. When men sleep in a lateral position, the testicles and penis are squeezed between their legs, and the pressure they bear is significantly greater than when they stand. Some men, especially teenagers, move around during sleep, possibly twisting their spermatic cords into a ball, causing twisting and knotting.
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 not twist and twist.
Supine
This is the most suitable sleeping position for men. Men choose a supine sleep position and naturally separate their legs, which neither compresses the internal organs and reproductive organs, nor prevents scrotal torsion. It can provide sufficient space for the scrotum and penis to move, effectively dissipate heat, promote blood circulation in the reproductive organs, and is most beneficial to the health of the reproductive system and sexual function.
