Are there any benefits to pulling on the balls?

Moderate massage of the testicles may have certain benefits for men's health, but it requires attention and method. The main functions include promoting local blood circulation, relieving scrotal discomfort, assisting in detecting abnormal masses, improving sexual function regulation, and relaxing physical and mental stress.

1. Promote blood circulation:

Gently massaging the testicular area increases blood flow, helping to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the reproductive organs. The increase in local temperature helps maintain normal spermatogenesis, but it is necessary to avoid hard squeezing or long-term stimulation. Each massage should be controlled for 3-5 minutes. Improved blood circulation also reduces the risk of varicocele.

2. Relieve scrotal discomfort:

For scrotal swelling that occurs after sitting for a long time or exercising, muscle tension can be relieved by lifting the testicles using the correct technique. Use the movement of supporting the scrotum with the palm of your hand and pushing it upward gently, combined with deep breathing, to relax the spermatic cord muscles. It is necessary to distinguish between pathological and physiological discomfort. If it is accompanied by pain, you need to seek medical treatment in time.

3. Abnormal mass screening:

Regular gentle touch of the testicles can help detect abnormal hardness or enlargement early on. It is recommended to perform a self-examination while taking a bath and roll the testicles with your thumb and index finger to check whether the surface is smooth. If you find a lump larger than a pea size, a change in texture, or obvious asymmetry on both sides, you should see a urology department as soon as possible.

4. Regulatory function:

Appropriate stimulation of the testicles can promote testosterone secretion and improve sexual desire and erectile function. Sexual excitement can be enhanced by gently pinching sensitive areas such as the testicular frenulum. However, frequent high-intensity stimulation may cause dulling of sensation, so 1-2 times a week is appropriate. People with sexual dysfunction should give priority to cardiovascular or endocrine diseases.

5. Release psychological pressure:

Perineal massage activates parasympathetic nerves and produces a relaxing effect. Abdominal breathing can help relieve anxiety, but it should not be used as the main way to reduce stress. The operation may aggravate the discomfort when you are highly stressed, so it is recommended to perform it in a relaxed state of mind and body.

Breathable cotton underwear can be worn daily to keep the scrotum dry and avoid riding a bicycle or sitting for long periods of time. Pay attention to supplementing the diet with zinc, oysters, nuts, etc. and dark vegetables with vitamin E, and perform moderate squat exercises to improve blood circulation in the pelvic floor. When persistent pain, appearance changes or skin abnormalities occur in the testicles, it is necessary to stop massage immediately and seek medical examination to rule out the possibility of testicular torsion, epididymitis and other emergencies. It is recommended that middle-aged and elderly men undergo special physical examinations of the prostate and testicles every year.
