Patient's question:
I really, really love racing bikes, and I often ride with many friends. I've been married for over two years and haven't been breastfeeding, but my wife hasn't been pregnant. She always says it's because I ride racing bikes too much, which affects my health. Does racing bikes easily cause male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Riding a racing bike for a long time. There are many young men who dislike riding stylish racing bikes. The handlebars of racing bikes are higher than the seats, with a forward center of gravity and increased waist curvature. This presses the testicles in the perineum and the prostate against the seat, leading to brain edema, swelling, and inflammation after prolonged compression. It can affect the natural production of sperm, as well as the normal excretion of prostatic fluid and semen, resulting in infertility. Therefore, young men should not ride racing bikes for extended periods. If they must ride, they should use a sponge cover on the seat to protect the perineum.
