4 Health Signals From Male Testes

4 Health Signals From Male Testes

The shape of a man's testicles reveals the health of his body. The testicles are oval structures located in pairs within the scrotum, producing sperm and producing testosterone. A sex-specialized Internet newspaper, Whisper.com reported four health signals from a man's testicles.

1. The larger testicles, heart disease

 Men with larger testicles are more likely to have heart disease. This is the result of the medical examination conducted by the University of Florence, Italy, after examining the testicle size of 2,800 men 7 years later. Males with large testes also had high alcohol consumption and high blood pressure. The researchers explained that the larger the testicle size, the higher the testosterone level. This is because the higher the testosterone level, the higher the risk of heart disease. It was published in the Journal of Sex Medicine.

2. The smaller the testicle, the more sleep time

The size of the testicles can help you guess your sleep habits. A research team at the University of Southern Denmark examined the sleeping habits, testicle size, and sperm count of 1,000 men. As a result, the group with low sleep quality such as insomnia had 29% less sperm count than the control group. Testicle size was 1.6% smaller. The team also claimed that small testicles are one of the indicators of health anomalies. This is because lack of sleep leads to bad eating habits such as irregular eating, fast food consumption, alcohol and tobacco.

3.The smaller the testicle, the better the dad

The more men trying to nurture, the smaller the testicle size. Emory University's research team in the United States interviewed 70 couples with children 1-2 years old. Male parenting participation and testosterone levels were examined. As a result of the study, males with higher participation in parenting had lower testosterone levels and smaller testicle sizes. Some have argued that the more men who care about rearing, the better the wealthy relationship, and therefore the smaller testicles mean mental health.

4. Testicular cancer self-examination method

The following is a testicular cancer self-examination method proposed by the US Cleveland Clinic.

1) The best time to check is after showering with warm water. Warm water relaxes the scrotum, making it easy to detect signs of testicular abnormality.

2) Put both hands on each testicle. The index finger and middle finger are placed under the testicles and the thumb is placed on top. In that state, roll the testicle with your thumb and index finger.

3) You may feel something like a string in your testicle. The epididymis is not a strange sign. The epididymis is the organ that stores and releases sperm.

4) Check if a small lump is felt. If it is about the size of a pea or if you feel pain, you should seek medical attention.

5) It is normal for testicles to have different sizes. However, if changes in the size of each testicle are felt, a hospital examination is required.
