Wearing tight or skinny wears, especially pant or pencil jeans trousers, seems like the reigning style and, no doubt, many people are addicted to such style, including men and women, old and young. And according to a fashion expert, as long as they are in fashion, they probably won’t go away.
WOMEN.
Pencil jeans trousers leave little or no space between them and the skin, usually from the waist to the toes.
Researchers say wearing such butt-squeezing and thigh-hugging dresses could have painful side effects and cause health problems, such as nerve damage, numbness in the thigh, persistent abdominal pain, blood clot related problems, heartburn and belching.
The report, published in cbsnews.com, revealed that when the nerve that runs down the front of the thigh is compressed because of the tightness, it could lead to a condition called meralgia paresthetica, which is a disorder that occurs when too much pressure is put on a nerve on the outer part of the thigh. Its symptoms include numbness, tingling, and pain.
“The condition gets worse and the risk of having it gets higher in women if they wear skinny jeans with heels. Wearing heels causes your pelvis to tilt, which puts more pressure on the nerve,” the report added.
MEN.
“Men should be especially concerned when trying to squeeze on tight pants. One of the problems with wearing skinny jeans is that it can cause a testicular torsion, where one testicle gets twisted on itself. If left untreated, the torsion can cut off circulation and cause the testicle to die.
“Normally the condition is so painful that people seek help pretty quickly. Men only need one, but it would be a heck of a thing to lose one just because of your jeans.”
In a report published on Telegraph.co.uk, a recent survey of 2,000 British men conducted by TENA Men, an outfit that makes garments for men with bladder problems, showed that one in 10 men had experienced an unpleasant side-effect as a result of wearing skinny jeans.
Of those men suffering from skinny jeans, it was found that half had experienced discomfort with their groin while over a quarter had bladder troubles while one in five suffered a twisted testicle.
Beyond not being able to run or move freely in the tight wears, one in four of the participants said they regularly squeezed themselves into jeans and their biggest reasons for enduring tightness and discomfort were ‘to show I can still fit in them’ and ‘because they look good.’
“In fact, three in 10 have suffered discomfort from tight jeans and 40 per cent of men admit they sometimes sacrifice comfort over style.
Medical experts, including Dr. Hilary Jones, have revealed through a study that the number of men suffering from painful testicular problems is on the rise owing to the current fashion for tight jeans.
Jones said these fashionable denims are causing twisted testicles, bladder weakness, urinary tract infections, fungal infections and even low sperm count. He explained that wearing tight-fitting clothing over a prolonged period of time can lead to urinary tract infections.
He said, “Twisted testicles occur when tight trousers prevent the spermatic cord from moving freely, meaning it twists and leads to testicular torsion which cuts off the blood supply requiring immediate surgery to prevent a gangrenous testicle.
”I have seen several cases of men who have twisted their testicles due to wearing jeans that are far too tight but my advice to men would be to make sure they leave plenty of room around the groin area and that their pants and trousers feel comfortable so they are not being restricted in any way. So, please don’t put style before health.
The medical experts also noted that temperature of the groin region matters. A reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Celia Dominguez, said, “In order for testes to produce sufficient quality and quantity of sperm, the temperature of testes must be lower than the core body temperature, so, something as simple as changing the kind of underwear a man wears can make a difference.
“Testes can overheat when a man wears tight wears or brief underwear and that is why they are located outside the body. If the testes are too hot – several degrees above where they should be – they are not able to produce sufficient sperm, resulting in low sperm count. Just be aware, it takes 10 to 11 weeks for sperm to be produced, so dress and plan accordingly.”
