Most men wear belts to keep their pants, jeans or mundu from coming loose and for fashion. Can this belt, worn for necessity, be a health hazard? Let's see how wearing this belt can be harmful to men.

Wearing a tight belt for a long time can increase the heat below the waist. According to Dr. Tripti Raheja, consultant in the department of gynaecology at CK Birla Hospital, wearing a belt can increase the heat below the waist and significantly affect sperm production in men. This is because if the male genitalia, which needs to be cooler than the rest of the body, is hot, it is harmful. Other diseases can also occur apart from this.

Wearing a tight belt restricts blood flow to the pelvic area. This not only affects sperm production but also often leads to diseases like varicose veins. Wearing a belt all the time can negatively affect the organs in the pelvic area. It can also cause problems like bloating.

Health experts suggest wearing loose-fitting clothes to avoid such problems and taking regular walks instead of sitting for long periods. Trying to keep body problems at bay through a proper healthy diet and exercise will also reduce the problems associated with wearing a belt.
