Stop Wearing Tight Pants

The Russian newspaper, Pravda, advises men to stop wearing tight pants and belts for their reproductive health. (June 9, 2005, Pravda.ru)

In fact the newspaper alleges “Tight belts and low waist jeans produce the effect of heat castration for men and women alike.”

Pravda reports that: “Doctors say, however, that tight clothes limit the mobility of hip joints. Furthermore, if a person prefers jeans, he or she might suffer from the stretching of joint capsules. Tight pants make a person develop a peculiar step, which negatively affects the spine. Wearing fashionable low waist jeans might result in compression of nerves, which leads to a burning and tingling feeling in the legs. A lot of vital internal organs are placed in the abdominal cavity. Blood vessels in the area below the umbilicus perform the lymphatic drainage of abdominal organs. If the belt is too tight on the waist, it slows down the lymph flow from the pelvis. Such an obstacle complicates the work of the immune system too. To crown it all, internal abdominal organs suffer from insufficient blood supply …. Consequently, the ‘sitting lifestyle in pants’ increases the risk of a whole bouquet of diseases, from prostatitis to cancer.”

It may be common sense that men who want to be proactive about their health, or men already afflicted with prostatitis, BPH, prostate cancer or epididymitis, might want to switch to elastic waist pants and elastic belts.
