It turns out that poor posture can have serious negative effects on male genitals. Slouching can lead to erectile dysfunction and weak erections. Metro.co.uk, men’s health expert GP Dr. Jeff Foster talked about the side effects of poor posture and how to correct health problems that may be present.
WHAT IS BAD POSTURE?
Poor posture is commonplace with many of us sitting at desks, carrying heavy bags, or hunched over phones and iPads. Dr Foster said: “Poor posture can often manifest as rounded shoulders, a hunched back and even a head tilted slightly forward or backward. An excess belly can also be a sign of poor posture. Poor posture can cause the muscles in the pelvic floor to become tighter and weaker. “These are the muscles that support your pelvic organs, such as your bladder and bowel. Poor posture can also affect nerve function.” said.
EFFECTS OF POOR POSTURE ON PENIS HEALTH
Slouching actually weakens your core muscles, which are connected to your pelvic floor muscles, and they become ‘tighter and weaker’ as a result of the increased pressure on them. Dr Foster said: “When it comes to the penis, having tight pelvic floor muscles can mean that these muscles are not as strong, which can reduce sexual stamina (with weaker erections) and even mean weaker ejaculation, which can mean poorer overall strength.” It could mean orgasm.”
“Problems with the pelvic floor muscles can lead to problems with the pelvic floor organs, which can cause urinary incontinence, pain when going to the toilet, pelvic pain, and pressure on the penis and testicle area. You may also experience difficulty achieving an erection. Poor posture can reduce energy levels and make us feel more tired in general.” “There is even some evidence to suggest that it may reduce the chance of sexual arousal, which means less chance of erection.” said.
HOW TO PREVENT BAD POSTURE?
The key here is to align your spine and pelvic muscles to improve blood flow to your penis.
“It is important here to place the spine in a neutral position,” Dr Foster explains. “To have good posture, lean against a wall with the back of your head, shoulder blades, and hips touching the wall. Your heels should be slightly away from the wall. Place your hand behind your lower back. If you find it easy to slide your hand there, slowly lean your back against the wall. You can barely fit into this space.” “If your job requires you to sit for long periods of time, you can also practice good posture at your desk.” said.
Dr Foster says: “When you sit down, make sure your screen is at eye level, your feet are flat on the floor and your forearms are resting comfortably on your desk. By adjusting your posture, your pelvic muscles will need to work, allowing them to be used more effectively. This potentially allows for better blood flow to the penis, which “This means that the chances of getting an erection are higher since an erection occurs when the penis fills with blood.” He completed his statement by saying.
