Men, do you have these physical habits?

Core Tip: Taking a sitz bath and soaking these reproductive organs in hot water can remove sweat stains, bacteria, mold and harmful microorganisms, and effectively treat or prevent balanitis, urethritis, scrotitis, hemorrhoids and anal fistulas. It is especially effective in preventing prostatitis and can delay male aging.

Don’t wear: Tight briefs

Experts say that from a physiological structure perspective, since the male testicles are outside the body, the scrotum that wraps around the testicles will constantly adjust the temperature, so that sperm is produced and stored at a temperature about 2°C lower than that inside the body. Generally, sperm can only be produced normally when the testicle temperature is maintained at 35°C, and only at this temperature can sperm be fully active. Too high or too low a temperature will affect the function of the testicles.

If men wear tight briefs, the scrotum will be fixed close to the abdominal cavity, thus limiting the scrotum's ability to regulate temperature. At the same time, if the testicles are always close to the warm abdominal cavity, the abdominal cavity temperature will be higher than the temperature required for the normal function of the testicles, which will cause spermatogenesis disorders and lead to infertility.

In addition, if the underwear fabric is made of chemical fiber material with poor air permeability and poor heat dissipation, the scrotum will be in a closed state, the air will not circulate, bacteria will easily multiply, and cause urethritis. In the long run, it will cause poor sperm quality and low activity.

Don’t: Sitting on the toilet for a long time

In the daily life of modern people, many people have the habit of sitting on the toilet for a long time to read books or newspapers. Andrology experts say that sitting on the toilet for a long time is an unhealthy habit, which has a particularly great impact on men's physical health.

Since defecation is a reflex action of the body, it is a whole-body action coordinated by the human brain to the defecation center. If a person sits on the toilet for a long time to read books or newspapers, he will ignore the urge to defecate, making the whole body's defecation action uncoordinated and appearing to stop the urge to defecate. As a result, the rectum loses sensitivity to the pressure stimulation of feces, causing difficulty in defecation, and then dry stools, which will eventually form habitual constipation.

For men, this bad habit is particularly harmful to the prostate. Sitting on the toilet for a long time prolongs the time of defecation, which can easily cause blood congestion in the lower abdomen and pelvis, causing varicose veins in the rectum and anus to form hemorrhoids. At the same time, long-term constipation and stool pressure can cause obstruction of blood circulation in the prostate, aggravating the symptoms of prostatitis.

Not only sitting on the toilet for a long time, but also various kinds of sitting in daily life will affect the prostate. For example, sitting on the computer for a long time, playing mahjong, riding a bicycle for a long time, etc., can easily cause congestion and blood stasis in the male perineum, thus causing hemorrhoids and aggravating the symptoms of prostatitis.

Not suitable: strong tea, coffee, carbonated drinks

As for food, men should try to stay away from "unsuitable" varieties. Andrology experts say that many "popular drinks" nowadays are not suitable for men.

First of all, tea, especially Kung Fu tea. This is because tea contains ingredients such as theanine, which can easily excite the prostate, making the prostate blood vessels sensitive and active, which can easily cause prostate inflammation or recurrence. Generally speaking, the stronger the tea, the higher the rate of prostate inflammation.

The second is coffee, which also contains ingredients that can easily excite the prostate and cause prostate enlargement. Men who drink too much coffee usually have difficulty urinating.

Next is carbonated drinks, which are listed as "junk food" by foreign nutrition experts. In addition to sucrose, carbonated drinks rarely contain other nutrients. Carbonated drinks are mostly added with carbonic acid, citric acid, and lactic acid, which will make the body fluids in an acidic state, while the body fluids of the human body are in an alkaline state. Therefore, carbonated drinks are actually not conducive to the elimination of fatigue in the human body, and are also likely to interfere with the alkaline state of male semen. Studies have shown that the combined effects of acidic substances, additives, preservatives and caffeine in carbonated drinks will reduce sexual ability and limit sperm vitality to a certain extent.

As for alcohol, it can easily cause gonadal poisoning, damage spermatogenic cells, inhibit the synthesis of male sex hormones, reduce androgen levels, and lead to decreased sexual function or even impotence.

Not suitable: electromagnetic radiation

For men, they should pay special attention to staying away from electromagnetic radiation sources in life, which is determined by their physiological characteristics.

In daily life, large electrical equipment and household appliances that emit electromagnetic radiation can be seen everywhere. Televisions, induction cookers, microwaves, office computers, mobile phones, etc. all emit strong radiation.

When electromagnetic waves act on the human body, they will directly produce electromagnetic induction, thereby interfering with the activity of receptor enzymes on the cell biomembrane, causing cell morphological changes and kinetic energy damage. Long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation will cause a decrease in the activity and quantity of male reproductive cells and sperm.

Men should especially stay away from electromagnetic radiation because male chromosomes are more fragile than female chromosomes and are more likely to cause changes in the immune system. In addition, male reproductive cells and sperm are more sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.

Therefore, as a man, you should try to reduce the chance of contact with electromagnetic waves. Even if you have to contact them, you should try to maintain a certain safe distance, generally more than half a meter.

Suitable: Cool bath

Because the male perineum has a relatively complex anatomy and physiology, reproductive organs such as the penis, testicles, prostate, and seminal vesicles are concentrated here.

Therefore, if you take a sitting bath and soak these reproductive organs in hot water, you can remove sweat stains, bacteria, mold and harmful microorganisms, and effectively treat or prevent balanitis, urethritis, scrotitis, hemorrhoids and anal fistulas. It is especially effective in preventing prostatitis and can delay male aging.

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, safflower, kudzu root and other relaxing and blood-activating drugs can be placed in the water of a sitz bath to dilate the blood vessels around the prostate, increase blood supply and relieve prostatitis. Experts point out that regular "sitz baths" can achieve certain therapeutic effects.

Do: Eat chocolate

Experts point out that chocolate is a good healthy food for men. This is because it contains rich carbohydrates and milk fat, which can generate heat in the body. Modern scientific research has revealed that this milk fat will emit a special sweet and fragrant smell, thereby catalyzing the human body's saliva to produce an immunoglobulin antibody, thereby increasing the body's ability to resist colds, bacteria and viruses. It is a suitable food for men who often have to travel outside.
