Is riding a bicycle bad for your health?

What are the disadvantages of riding a bicycle? Now the weather is getting colder, so people want to choose to ride a bicycle to keep fit. However, many people do not know what the disadvantages of riding a bicycle are, and they also want to know, because after all, people ride bicycles every day. If they do not understand the key points, it will cause harm to the body. The advantage of riding a bicycle is that it can keep fit and lose weight, so what are the disadvantages of riding a bicycle?

A research department in the United States has confirmed that men who ride bicycles for a long time are more likely to suffer from impotence. Today's bicycle seats are usually narrow and hard, and riding on them will put a lot of pressure on the genitals. The force point of the bicycle seat is right between the anus and the scrotum, where there is an artery that controls the penis's ability to engorgement. If it is squeezed for a long time, it is easy to suffer from impotence.

A lady I know rides a bike to work every day for five years. Recently, she noticed swelling between the base of her thigh and external genitalia. The swelling gradually grew larger. She often felt pain when she was under pressure while riding a bike, and she also felt discomfort when she was rubbed while walking. After examination by the doctor, a swelling was found in her pubic region. It might be caused by local contusion due to years of cycling, which was not treated in time and caused constant irritation. This type of pubic inguinal mass generally occurs more frequently in women, because women have wider pelvises and their pubic arches are lower and flatter than men, which coincides with the bicycle seat. This makes the pubic inguinal region and nearby soft tissues susceptible to friction. Therefore, women who ride bicycles for many years, especially those who carry people and cargo on the bicycle to increase the weight, are very likely to develop pubic inguinal mass.

So please note:

First, the bicycle seat should not be too high and should be elastic to prevent the hips from twisting left and right while riding, so as to reduce local friction.

Second, when riding a bicycle, sit upright with your hips and apply force evenly to both legs to prevent excessive force on one side from forming a swelling.

Third, menstrual belts, sanitary napkins, and shorts should be made of soft materials. It is best to ride less or not at all during menstruation.

Cycling is definitely bad, but you must reduce the bad effects of riding a bicycle. Cycling is actually good for your body if you ride it properly.

Riding a bicycle definitely has its advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how you look at it. When riding a bicycle, you must master the balance point posture, and then see what kind of bicycle you choose. Some bicycles are cheaper, but the seats are harder. If the seat is too hard, it will definitely be very uncomfortable to sit on. Such a seat can also make men prone to prostatitis.
