Nowadays, most men work mainly for long-term sitting, such as drivers, IT workers and bank staff. Although sitting is easier, it will compress the base of the pelvic cavity, affecting the normal operation of organs such as the bladder, prostate, rectum, and urethra, and also increase the risk of menstruation diseases.
What men's diseases can be caused by sitting for a long time?
1, male infertility
Men's sitting for a long time can slow down the blood circulation in the pelvic cavity, increase the local temperature, and thus damage the testicles. Testicles are completely different from organs in the abdominal cavity. Testicles are more sensitive to temperature. When local temperature rises, it can affect the sperm production function of the testicles, reduce sperm quality and vitality, and weaken male fertility.
2, prostatitis
Men sit for a long time and can affect the blood flow rate at the base of the pelvic cavity, inhibit blood circulation, and lead to congestion in the base of the pelvic cavity. The prostate is located in the perineum and is close to the base of the pelvic cavity. Sitting still will cause the prostate to remain congested, which can easily induce prostatitis, causing swelling and pain in the perineum, inability to drain and diffusion of urine, etc. Also, sitting for a long time will reduce the amount of urine output, concentrate the urine and reflux, thereby inducing prostatitis.
How can we reduce the harm caused by sitting for a long time?
1, sitting upright
Sit cross-legged and cross-legged are all incorrect sitting postures. When sitting, the thighs should be at a 90-degree angle, the thighs and torso should be at a 90-degree angle, the shoulders and elbows should be at a relaxed state, the arms should be at a 90-degree angle to the front arm, and the eyes should be parallel to the computer screen.
2. Do more anal lifting exercises
like holding your stool. Combined with abdominal breathing, inhaling the anus for 3 seconds while inhaling, relaxing for three seconds when exhaling, and continuing to do 20 to 30 times. By performing anal lifting exercises, the prostate can be massaged, and it can also prevent hemorrhoids and urinary incontinence.
3. Stretch and stretch
After sitting for a while, you should stand up and stretch, which can allow the muscles of the whole body to participate, relieve the body's soreness and speed up blood circulation. Slap your hips and waist when stretching, and the effect will be better. It is worth noting that the movements of stretching should not be too fast or too fierce. Slowly separate the movements and take deep breaths.
Warm reminder
Each time you sit, you must stand up and move; do tiptoe once every hour, hold your feet together, try to tiptoe and relax as much as possible, which can promote blood flow back from the lower limbs. More than 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every day, such as swimming, jogging, and skipping rope , can reduce the damage caused by sitting for a long time. Men who are not allowed to sit due to work factors should go to the hospital regularly for routine semen and prostate examinations for to facilitate early treatment of related diseases.
