Does cycling harm men’s sexual function?

Long-term cycling does have an impact on male function, mainly in two aspects:

First, cycling compresses the male perineum, causing pressure on blood vessels and nerves in this place, which may lead to sensory abnormalities, vascular congestion, etc.

Second, cycling will lead to an increase in male testis temperature, which is not conducive to the healthy development of sperm and affects semen quality.

Can’t men ride bicycles? Of course not, cycling can exercise heart, lung, waist and legs, which is a good way to exercise.

Pay attention to the following four points, you can enjoy the benefits of cycling without affecting male reproductive ability.

First, choose bicycles with wider seats to disperse pressure.

Second, keeping a relatively straight sitting position as far as possible can also reduce the oppression on the perineum.

Third, adjust the angle of the car seat so that the front end of the car seat inclines slightly downward.

Fourth, when riding a bicycle, the sitting posture and standing posture alternate to give some breathing space to the stressed place.
