Doctor gives tips on wearing a belt for good health

There are things that seem very simple but must be done correctly, otherwise the consequences can be unpredictable. One such thing is wearing a belt, especially for men.

Doctors have revealed that there is a way of wearing a belt that men should avoid, lest the consequences be unpredictable. That is wearing the belt too tight, according to the Indian Express.

According to Dr. Tripti Raheja, working at CK Birla Hospital (India), wearing a belt that is too tight for a long time causes discomfort and pressure on the abdomen, leading to long-term health problems.

Dr Tripti Raheja adds: The pressure from wearing a belt that is too tight can affect male fertility and cause other health problems.

Many harmful effects of wearing a belt too tight

First, it can increase the temperature of the scrotum, which is important because the testicles need to be cooler than other parts of the body for optimal sperm production. Dr. Raheja adds that increased temperatures in the groin area can negatively affect sperm quality and motility.

Second, a belt that is too tight can restrict blood flow to the pelvic area, thereby impairing the functioning of the testicles and reproductive organs, potentially reducing sperm production.

Additionally, prolonged compression in the lower abdomen and genital area can cause inflammation or contribute to varicose veins in the scrotum, which also affects fertility, according to the Indian Express.

According to Dr. Raheja, wearing a belt that is too tight can also cause digestive problems over time.

Dr. Sanjay Prakash J, a microsurgeon and urologist at AINU Hospital Chennai (India), confirmed that wearing a belt that is too tight can cause many harmful effects for men, especially when used for a long time or very often.

A belt that is too tight will constantly compress the abdomen, which can restrict blood flow. This can further affect the normal functioning of the organs in the pelvic area. This extreme pressure can cause digestive problems such as acid reflux.

What does the doctor advise?

Dr. Sanjay recommends wearing a well-fitting belt.

To minimize these risks, wear loose, comfortable, breathable clothing to prevent excessive heat buildup. Take frequent breaks from sitting for long periods to improve blood circulation in the pelvic area, recommends Dr. Raheja.

Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and alcohol, also plays an important role in supporting male fertility and overall health.
