Warning: Physician lists Wearing Tight Boxers, Jeans as Possible Cause of low Sperm Count in Men
Popular online health expert, Dr. Chinonso Egemba, aka ‘Aproko Doctor’ has warned Nigerian men against wearing tight clothing, especially jeans and boxers, noting that it could cause low sperm count.
According to Dr. Egemba, wearing too-tight jeans and boxers could have detrimental effects on the scrotum and affect sperm production.
He made this known via a new post on his Instagram page @aproko_doctor.
He said most men probably wear tight clothing because they want to gather heat and feel warm down there, adding that men who wear tighter underwear may have problems with sperm production.
Dr. Egbemba said, “There is a reason your scrotum is outside your body. It is outside your body because your testicles require a lower temperature than the rest of your body to produce sperm.
“It is that tight brief you want to go and wear? Or is it the skinny jeans you want to go and wear? … that may be affecting your sperm production.”
The physician advised men to wear freer clothes that allow the scrotum to dangle and breathe.
He said, “For optimal sperm production, don’t tight your scrotum hold body, let it be free.”
Dr. Egbemba futher warned men against constantly using a laptop on their lap, noting that it could also cause low sperm count.
