Christmas is a warm and romantic time of the year. When you decide to spend the night with your loved one, in addition to taking care of your other half, you need to pay attention to your own health, especially the safety of your "little brother". A new German study reveals that men have a significantly higher risk of fractures during this holiday season, and that's not just because of the wrong posture.
Happy holidays but be careful:
According to a recent study published in the International Journal of British Urology, a team led by Nikolaos Pyrgides, a urologist at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, collected data on 3,421 cases of "** fractures" in Germany from 2005 to 2021. Surprisingly, the rate of such injuries is unusually high during the Christmas season: "If every day were like Christmas, the chance of breaking bones in German men** would increase by 43% from 2005 onwards." ”
The study found that:
Just like a normal fracture, patients will hear a cracking sound, followed by severe pain, rapid loss of erections, and severe swelling and bruising. "When patients show their injuries to doctors, they often look like eggplants," says Pier Kiddes. But it's not just the wrong posture and getting carried away that the cause of this phenomenon is not just the wrong posture.
Dangerous pleasures:
The research team pointed out that the joy and sweetness of the festive season often lead couples to behave wilder and more intensely than usual, which can easily lead to accidents. In addition, adopting a posture that lacks eye contact, such as pose, increases the risk of accidents.
The traps don't stop there:
In addition to these two factors, the research team also identified other "pitfalls" that are often overlooked but are closely related to the matter. It turns out that most cases occur in "unconventional" situations, such as extramarital affairs or sex in unusual places, which are high-risk behaviors.
Emergency Handling:
"If this does happen, you should treat it as an absolute emergency and seek medical attention immediately, because if you don't**, you could suffer long-term complications," Pikides reminds us. ”
In this Christmas season full of warmth and joy, let's cherish and care for our own and others' bodies more while spending romantic moments together. Through careful behaviour and care, let the festive atmosphere of Christmas continue, and let's create a safe and happy Christmas memory together.
