The trend of men wearing skinny jeans may be doing more harm than good!  There has an uprising of young men causing injuries to their testicles due to their jeans being too skinny.  Dr. Hilary Jones of the UK is one of many medical experts that are warning men that this trend is a bad one to follow.

“The trendy denims are causing twisted testicles, bladder weakness, and even urinary tract infections.” — Dr. Hilary Jones

Twisted testicles is a serious condition that occurs “when tight trousers prevent the spermatic cord from moving freely, meaning it twists and leads to testicular torsion which cuts off the blood supply requiring immediate surgery to prevent a gangrenous testicle,” noted the report.

 

The study is also showing that wearing skinny jeans is also having an adverse affect on women according to health and fitness website RealBuzz.

For women, wearing skinny jeans can increase one’s chances of developing a vaginal yeast infection. Plus for both sexes, tight jeans have found to raise the risk of nerve compression, which can lead to tingling or numb thighs

 

Is swag worth the health issues?  You be the judge
