Testicular cancer and cycling???? |
this may be a stupid question,but is there any link between serious road cycling and testicular cancer?there are a few riders who have had it and just want to know if there are any chances of serious problems with my "downstairs area"if you know what i mean,ive even heard cycling can cause infertility!i know the people who have suffered these illnesses where just unlucky but im a complete wuss when it comes to the C word. Grant, doesn't sound like the name of an old wife! So why are you listening to so many old wives tales? cancer is a desease of the cells in a part of the body and im pretty sure you cant get it from ryding a bike. but i may be wrong. and it probably does cause infertility. No. However, there is a link between long term cycling and damage to the urethra (the tube both your urine and your sperm passes through). Padded bicycle shorts, proper positioning of the seat, and a well-padded seat that is designed with this problem in mind will negate the risks. Those seats are not cheap, but MAN THEY ARE COMFORTABLE! Once you try one, you will wonder how you ever cycled without one. There is no 'direct link' between testicular cancer' and cycling. There is a 'direct link' between 'fertility problems' ans 'sterility in men' who cycle, because they usually either 'press their testicles up tightly' because of the 'seat' or they wear pants that are 'way too tight' to cut down on 'wind resistance' ... so I think if you get a good 'solid jock strap' that you can wear to 'protect those jewels' you might be a bit 'safer' ... but if you are just a 'casual cycler' and only do it on the weekends for fun, I don't think you need to worry all that much ... and the 'health benefits' of riding regularly are very very GOOD for you, too. |
