People spend most of their time sitting in a sitting position except for sleeping. Many people don’t seem to know that sitting for a long time will have an impact on the body, and may even affect the “pregnancy plans” of expectant parents.
Women who sit for long periods of time can easily cause poor blood circulation, and can also cause gynecological diseases and even infertility.
Especially many young female office workers often have pain before and during menstruation due to long-term sitting. Sitting for long periods of time causes menstrual blood to flow backward into the fallopian tubes and ovaries, causing lower abdominal pain and low back pain. Chocolate cysts are one of the causes of female infertility. In addition, qi stagnation and blood stasis can easily lead to lymphatic or hematogenous embolism, blocking the fallopian tubes.
If men sit for long periods of time and the scrotum is compressed for too long, poor venous return will occur. Severe congestion can lead to varicocele, which affects male sexual function and fertility. Furthermore, sperm production requires a suitable temperature. If the scrotum is surrounded and compressed for too long, it cannot regulate the temperature normally, which will cause the temperature of the testicles to rise, which is not conducive to sperm production, which will also affect fertility.
So couples planning pregnancy must change their sedentary habits. After maintaining a sitting position for 40 minutes, you should rest for more than 10 minutes, do stretching exercises, walk outside, and breathe fresh air. Doing some walking, aerobics and other exercises after get off work can effectively improve blood circulation disorders caused by sitting for long periods of time. You can also massage your back, which can relieve and improve discomforts such as back stiffness and pain caused by sitting for long periods of time. Regular massage has health care effects on your back and spine, and is beneficial to improving fertility.
