Skinny Jeans; The Bitter Truth

For guys, the skinny jean fashion trend may have an unexpected side effect: experts are warning that the surge of

tight-jean popularity among guys is sparking a rise in painful testicular problems.

Medical experts have reported an increase in injuries being caused by tight jeans, “The trendy denims are causing twisted testicles, bladder weakness, and even urinary tract infections.”

Twisted testicles is a serious condition that occurs “when tight trousers prevent the spermatic cord from moving freely, meaning it twists and leads to testicular torsion which cuts off the blood supply requiring immediate surgery to prevent a gangrenous testicle,” noted the report.

Other dreaded side effects from overly tight jeans: low sperm count and fungal infections.
Tips are if you are wearing at all ensure you leave plenty of room around the groin area and that your (under) pants and trousers feel comfortable so you’re not being restricted in any way.

For women, wearing skinny jeans can increase one’s chances of developing a vaginal yeast infection. Plus for both sexes, tight jeans have found to raise the risk of nerve compression, which can lead to tingling or numb thighs.

Please don’t put style before health!
