Cycling can affect women's sexual health do?

Cycling has been with male erectile dysfunction linked, but a new study shows that it also could jeopardize women's sexual health.

Many cycling or rotational movement of women sitting on the bike seat because occasionally produce numbness accustomed to. Bike seat is designed to be like this: a person's weight is often attached with the seat of the "nose" part, so that the region of sexual nerves and blood vessels causing oppression. For men, this will increase the risk of suffering from erectile dysfunction.  cycling team jerseys Male officer patrolling on a bike in the study have also been reported.

But for women has not been carefully studied. 2006 Yale University researchers found that compared with the control group of women runners contrast, female riders of low sensitivity. Therefore, some scientists believe that female drivers and male riders at risk of sexual problems are similar.

In the latest study, Yale University researchers sought to determine whether there are specific factors that affect the female driver of the pain and numbness. 48 women participated in the study, everyone long biking, riding at least 10 miles per week, but more often rode away.

The women who took their bikes and seat into the lab. Researchers bicycle mounted on a stationary machine, and then let the drivers seat and handlebar according to their own preferences for installation. Then they sit on the bike seat, while the pedal, while reporting it because feel pain, numbness or tingling, as well as an instrument for its sense of pelvic floor measurements.

It should be noted that the position of the steering wheel seems to be the most. Bicycle handlebar position than women with low seat, ride a bicycle when it is called the perineum area of ​​soft tissue to withstand greater pressure, while its lower pelvic floor feeling.

The researchers found that the position of the steering wheel relative to the lower seat, the more women being tested to lean forward, forcing it to put a greater proportion of body weight on the perineum.team sky apparel  When the rider in order to maintain a more aerodynamic posture while leaning forward, back straight, hands on road bike or track race bike "fast fall of the handlebars" on, this problem may occur particularly.

The study sponsor, Yale University School of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, Assistant Professor Martha. K. Gaisiboshi said: "Basically, we show that for women drivers, then this risk factor as they may can be changed. we guide drivers used in this exercise posture cycling better security, in fact, to reduce the pressure and reduce the loss of feeling the pelvic floor is very useful. "

The findings published online in the "Journal of Sexual Medicine" on. U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Institute scientists Steven Schrader said the findings could help the problems faced by female riders, also the need for more long-term research. His previous research has helped realize bicycle saddle male officer patrolling the danger.

Dr. Schrader said that for years, he has been doing bicycle patrol police organizations publish their findings on the speech. Later, he said, the audience sometimes women close to him say, "This is not just a male thing."

"Women also have this kind of problem," said Dr. Schrader.

Dr. Schrader police study showed that eliminate or reduce perineal pressure of the best ways is to use no "nose" of the seat. His findings suggest that the use of bicycles Institute officers and other workers to use "no nose" seat, so you can make the pressure on the ischial, rather than soft perineal soft tissue. Although he has not studied women "no nose" the use of the seat, but he also believes that women can benefit from.

He said: "If you do not put weight on there, there will be no pressure up."
