What are the disadvantages of men sleeping on their stomachs?

Many physical symptoms are caused by not paying attention to developing good living habits in normal times. If these bad living habits are not corrected in time, some serious physical symptoms may occur. Therefore, we should try our best to maintain good living habits in normal times. So what are the disadvantages of men sleeping on their stomachs? Let's introduce them below.

Prone side-lying is bad for male reproduction

Some people say that sleeping on the right side will not compress the heart or the scrotum, so it should be a good sleeping position. But they overlooked an unexpected condition - testicular torsion. This disease is common in thin teenagers aged 12-18. Theoretically, it is not the testicle itself that is twisted, but the spermatic cord on it that is like a rope, which is twisted and "knotted". Since the blood vessels that supply nutrients to the testicles and transport metabolites pass through them, once the spermatic cord is "knotted", the testicles will be "starved", and if it exceeds 12 hours, it will be ischemic and necrotic. Most patients with testicular torsion develop the disease after intense exercise, but some also develop it when sleeping on their side. This is because when sleeping, the testicles and penis are squeezed between the legs, and the pressure on the reproductive organs is more obvious than when standing. In addition, some people have a bad sleeping posture, their legs will twist back and forth, and the spermatic cord will be "kneaded" into a ball, making accidents more likely to occur.

Lying on your back is the best sleeping position

As mentioned above, lying on your back is indeed the best sleeping position. At the same time, it is best for men to naturally spread their legs to give the scrotum and penis ample room to move. If a man is obese and snores when sleeping on his back, he may want to slightly tilt his head to one side when lying on his back.

There are actually many disadvantages for men to sleep on their stomachs. If they cannot be corrected in time, it will not be good for their health. This requires us to pay more attention to developing good living habits in normal times. In addition, we must actively correct these bad living habits. Only in this way can we maintain good physical health.
