Patient's question:
My husband has been very irritable these days. When I asked him why, he said that during his last thorough check-up, he was diagnosed with infertility. No wonder he couldn't get pregnant for over ten years—it was due to an issue with him. How did this come about?Doctor's answer:
Males who often cross their legs can cause varicose veins in their legs. When crossing legs, the compressed knee is prone to interfere with lower limb blood circulation. Keeping both legs in the same position for a long time can easily lead to numbness. If blood circulation is further obstructed, it may likely result in varicose veins or blood clots in the legs. It disrupts male perinatal health. The habit of crossing legs is very detrimental to perinatal health. When crossing legs, the legs are often pressed too tightly together, causing the temperature of the inner thighs and the area around the genitalia to drop. Long-term, this may interfere with fertility.
