Women Who Drive Bicycles Have Better Sexual Function
A new study found that women who ride bicycles have better sexual function than swimmers or runners. Studies of female athletes report that cycling does not have a negative impact on sexual and urinary function, even in the most active female riders. However, this study links the cycle to genital numbness and saddle wounds and a slight urinary tract infection
According to Times Now News, according to lead author Thomas Gaither of the University of California, San Francisco, saddle sores or numbness can occur when nerves that travel across the perineum to the genitals experience compression during a longer or more intense trip. However, Gaither said cycling can improve women's sexual health if a way to prevent injuries and infections can be found. Standing while riding is associated with less numbness.
These findings contradict some of the smaller prior studies that linked cycling with sexual dysfunction in women.
"We found that cycling did not have a negative impact on sexual or urinary function. However, cycling was strongly associated with genital numbness and saddle wounds, and was slightly associated with UTI. Increasing saddle standing time was associated with a lower likelihood of reported genital numbness alone, "said Gaither.
This study, the researchers surveyed 3,118 women who were included in the organization of cycling, swimming and running in the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. The participants were divided into two groups: high-intensity riders who cycled more than three times a week, averaged more than 25 miles each trip, and low-intensity riders who cycled less frequently.
The results showed that, more than 80% of participants (both high and low intensity groups) were sexually active rather than cyclist. The study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, also stated that high-intensity cyclists were 30% less likely to report sexual dysfunction, compared to runners and swimmers who were not cyclists.
While there is no difference in urinary symptoms between cyclists and non cyclists. In addition, this study found that cyclists were more likely to have urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the past.
