The Impact of Prone Sleeping Position on Male Reproductive Health

December 10, 2023

Many male friends like to sleep on their stomachs. This prone sleeping position not only easily compresses the internal organs and restricts breathing, but also has a certain impact on the reproductive system. This is especially harmful for young people.

Firstly, sleeping on the stomach for a long time can compress the scrotum and stimulate the penis, leading to frequent nocturnal emissions. Frequent nocturnal emissions can cause dizziness, back pain, fatigue, lack of concentration, and in severe cases, it can also affect normal work and life. Young people are already sensitive to stimulation of the penis, so they should avoid adopting this sleeping position. Also, people who experience frequent nocturnal emissions should be cautious as this sleeping position can worsen the condition.

In addition, the scrotum is like a "little refrigerator" for men. It needs to maintain a constant temperature in order to facilitate sperm production. Sleeping on the stomach can raise the temperature of the scrotum and make it difficult for heat to dissipate in a timely manner, thus affecting sperm growth. This is particularly important for young men who have not yet had children.

So, what sleeping position is better? Generally speaking, the principle is to not compress the internal organs and promote rest. It is recommended for men to sleep in a supine position or on the right side, as this does not compress the seminal vesicles or the heart (lying on the left side compresses the heart), which is best for the body.

The prerequisite for a healthy baby is the combination of healthy sperm and eggs. However, factors such as work stress, environmental pollution, and sexually transmitted diseases have led to a declining trend in male fertility year by year. Male infertility caused by misconceptions and lifestyle habits can be completely avoided and prevented.
