Patient's question:
I have always had the habit of sleeping on my stomach. Later, a friend told me that his friend experienced a recurrence of sexual dysfunction because of sleeping on his stomach, which made me feel very sad. I don't know if sleeping on your stomach really causes sexual dysfunction?Doctor's answer:
When body weight is applied to the chest and abdomen, compressing the heart, it can also interfere with the blood circulation in the male body, including the blood circulation of the reproductive organs. Long-term insufficient blood supply may potentially lead to male erectile dysfunction. At the same time, its gastrointestinal, urinary bladder, and other organs may also be affected by compression, disrupting normal function. Additionally, if adolescent boys often sleep on their stomachs, frequently compressing the scrotum and striking the penis, it can easily lead to excessive nocturnal emissions. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, whereas delayed treatment can affect their health condition.
