Men, don't let the "pleasant" posture destroy your reproductive system

Different sleeping positions for men have different effects on their health. Will sleeping position have "bad consequences" on sexual function? The answer is yes. For men, the best sleeping position is lying on your back with your legs apart; lying prone or on your side may have adverse effects on the male reproductive system.

Prone

Many men ask, "Is it bad to sleep on my stomach? I can sleep soundly on my stomach!" In fact, sleeping on my stomach, that is, lying on my stomach, not only puts pressure on the internal organs, causing breathing difficulties and damaging the internal organ functions over time, but also puts pressure on the reproductive system: the penis is compressed, which hinders blood circulation and easily causes frequent spermatorrhea, causing men to experience symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue, affecting their normal work and life; the scrotum is compressed, and the heat cannot be effectively dissipated, which will increase the temperature of the scrotum, have an adverse effect on the spermatogenesis function of the testicles, and reduce male fertility. Therefore, men who have not yet achieved "fatherhood" should pay special attention and must not lie on their stomach.

Left side lying

Since the heart is located on the left side of the body, when a man sleeps on his left side, the heart will be compressed, causing people to toss and turn and sleep restlessly, which can easily lead to poor sleep quality. Moreover, when the heart is compressed, the blood circulation of 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.

Right side lying

Lying on your stomach is not good, nor is lying on your left side. So is lying on your right side good? Indeed, lying on your right side does not compress your heart or reproductive organs, and is considered a better sleeping position. However, not every man is suitable for sleeping on the right side. Medical experts have found that whether you lie on your left side or right side, it may lead to an unexpected event - testicular torsion.

The testicles "live" in the scrotum, connected to the body by a tissue called the spermatic cord on each side. The spermatic cord has blood vessels that provide blood circulation to the testicles. When men sleep on their side, the testicles and penis are squeezed between their legs, and the pressure they bear is much more obvious than when they stand. Some men, especially teenagers, move around when they sleep, and their legs twist around, which may "twist" the spermatic cord into a ball, causing twisting and "knotting". Since the blood vessels that supply nutrients to the testicles and excrete metabolites pass through the spermatic cord, once the spermatic cord twists, the testicles will not receive nutrients and metabolites cannot be excreted. If the twisting time exceeds 12 hours, the testicles may be ischemic and necrotic.

Therefore, sleeping on the right side is not the best sleeping position for men. If men insist on sleeping on the right side, they should also pay attention to their "sleeping posture" and avoid moving or twisting.
