Penile numbness after cold and inflammation

After catching a cold, many people's body resistance will generally decrease. Although some problems may also occur at normal times, such as some men may suffer from penis numbness due to kidney deficiency, in this case, you can continue to ride a bicycle and exercise to increase your body's resistance, thereby preventing genital problems.

We all know that cycling is a good exercise for the cardiovascular system and has obvious effects on weight loss and body shaping. However, male friends should pay attention that continuous cycling for more than 2 hours for a long time will have a certain impact on the reproductive system.

Because the friction of the bicycle seat will increase the temperature of the scrotum and damage the vas deferens, affecting the spermatogenesis of the testicles and causing infertility. In addition, long-term bicycle riding will stimulate the prostate, causing swelling, congestion or damage, making the prostate fluid secretion difficult, thus leading to prostatitis.

When people sit on a narrow bicycle seat, the weight per unit area is more than seven times that of sitting on a chair. In addition, the excessive pressure on the perineum by the seat causes the pressure to exceed the blood pressure during arterial contraction. At this time, the blood supply to the penis will be temporarily blocked, and the arterial endothelium will be damaged to varying degrees, leading to vascular ED.

In the past 10 years, foreign research teams have been paying attention to the relationship between cycling and erectile dysfunction. Norway surveyed 160 athletes participating in cross-country cycling competitions and found that 33 of them reported experiencing penile numbness, dullness or loss of sensitivity, and 21 were diagnosed with ED. Germany also found that after surveying more than 1,100 cyclists, 58%-70% of them experienced genital numbness.

In Europe and the United States, many people have started to use new bicycle seats that are more flexible and can reduce the pressure on the perineum. As a major bicycle country, my country has not paid enough attention to the relationship between cycling and male erectile dysfunction, which is an issue that needs to be emphasized urgently.
