One in ten men reports discomfort when wearing skinny jeans. Is there a clear link between this experience and the occurrence of testicular cancer?
Skinny jeans � now no longer just a woman�s fashion statement. A closet staple for lead singers of rock bands, Kpop artists and even your hipster neighbour, skinny jeans make you look stylish and neat. However, are there downsides to wearing skinny jeans, especially for men? Does the tightness of the apparel cause pain and discomfort near the groin, and will this develop into something more serious?
First things first: As it is an external organ, your testicles are more accustomed to being at a cooler temperature compared to the rest of your body. Constraining your testicles too tightly in too-small briefs or too-tight pants may cause severe discomfort, especially over a prolonged period.
The answer is: No, there is no adequate scientific proof to link skinny jeans and cancer.
Doctors worldwide still link tight jeans to infertility and testicle damage. A study by the fertility research centre of Universities of Manchester and Sheffield discovered that wearing tight briefs does affect the count of healthy sperm, versus wearers of loose boxer shorts.
To understand this type of cancer, it helps to be familiar with the structure and function of the testicles. In adult males, a testicle is slightly smaller than the size of a golf ball. Each testicle is confined within a bag-like skin structure called the scrotum.
There are two treatments for testicular cancer, depending on the type and level of growth.
Testicular cancer is not unavoidable but curable when detected early. Here are some things you can do to lower the risk of getting testicular cancer:
