The man squatted in the office, beware of the thing going bad

As we enter the knowledge economy era, more and more people are working while sitting.

However, sitting still for a long time is extremely detrimental to men's reproductive function.

Medical research has found that men who are accustomed to sitting for long periods of time are twice as likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction as men who exercise regularly.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sitting for a long time will damage the flesh." Sitting for long periods of time and lack of regular physical exercise can cause congestion in the male genitals and trigger prostate inflammation. Especially when sitting on a soft sofa, the buttocks sink into it, the scrotum is squeezed, the venous return is poor, and the microcirculation of blood in the genitals is blocked. In severe cases, it can lead to varicocele, testicular prolapse, and dull pain in the lower abdomen.

Moreover, sitting for a long time will make it difficult to excrete harmful substances produced by testicular metabolism, reduce testosterone secretion, lead to sexual dysfunction and male infertility, and even testicular necrosis.

The testicles have a thick fibrous membrane that divides the testicles into many lobules. The connective tissue between the seminiferous tubules in the testicular lobule contains interstitial cells that secrete male hormones. Once men enter puberty at the age of 12-14, the interstitial cells can produce large amounts of testosterone.

Testosterone is the main component of male hormones and its biological effects in the human body are extremely important. It is currently believed that the reason why testosterone levels gradually decrease with age may be related to the aging of the testicular system due to daily wear and tear of the human body and excessive stress in life. When the male hormone drops to a certain level, symptoms such as irritability, depression, fatigue, and loss of libido will appear, which means that the male menopause has begun.

Testicular care is an important means to solve male dysfunction. Men can massage their testicles with both hands when taking a bath or before going to bed. Use your thumbs to gently pinch the testicles clockwise and counterclockwise for ten minutes each. Long-term persistence will definitely be beneficial. If you feel any unusual pain during massage, it may be orchitis or epididymitis. Please go to the hospital for examination in time.
