Can Skinny Jeans Kill You? The Danger In Wearing Skinny Jeans
There is no doubt that wearing skinny jeans or tight fitted trousers make us look so smart and stylish, but have we consider the health implication of putting on skinny jeans?
If you prefer the Russell Brand tight jeans look, you might be putting yourself at risk of a painful testicle and bladder problems, say medical experts. The fashionable denim may look good, but it can cause urinary tract infections, bladder weakness, and twisted testicles. Ouch.
It’s not the first time tight legwear has been subject to health warnings. Other researchers have identified several cases where patients have developed pain or tingling in their thighs after wearing “tight new fashion low cut trousers”. Men are warned that skinny jeans can lead to twisted testicles. They are typically urged to wear looser undergarments when they and their partner are trying to conceive, says general practitioner, Dr. Sarah Jarvis, because high temperatures are thought to have a negative effect on sperm production.
Below Are Health Risk Associated With Skinny Jeans.
- Low sperm count and fungal infections are also being put down to the tight-fitting jeans.
- Tight fitted jeans cause twisted testicles, bladder weakness, and even urinary tract infections.
- Men that put on tight fitting trousers or skinny jeans, or underwear that is restrictive around the groin area, could be damaging their health.
- Wearing tight-fitting clothing over a prolonged period can lead to urinary tract infections leading to over-activity of the bladder.
- Twisted testicles occur when tight trousers prevent the spermatic cord from moving freely, meaning it twists and leads to testicular torsion. This cuts off blood supply and requires immediate surgery to prevent a gangrenous testicle.
- Tight-fitting jeans around the groin can put additional pressure on the bladder but can also lead to bacteria breeding and re-enter the body causing urinary tract infections.
- Wearing skinny jeans creates the need to urinate more frequently and can cause severe pain.
To steer clear of dangerous fashion complications, “make sure you leave plenty of room around the groin area and that your pants and trousers feel comfortable so you’re not being restricted in any way,” medical expert Dr. Hilary Jones told The Telegraph.
