AmericanRam Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/doctors-warn-cycling-could-lead-4408728 South African scientists have dubbed a nodule that develops from the friction of rubbing against the bike saddle a 'testicle' Lots of cycling could leave men with a third testicle, according to doctors. The sport may be used to get fit and healthy, but scientists have documented a rare condition where cyclists grow a lump in their groin - and women can get it too. According to a new report by South African scientists, a 'cyclist's nodule' can form due to the constant rubbing of the bum on the saddle. Repeated vibration and friction between the lowest pelvis bones, tissue under the bottom's skin and the hard bike saddles causes the lump, according to the South African Journal of Sports Medicine. As the nodule - which tends to be tender but firm - is located near the bottom, it has been named a third or 'accessory' testicle. The report said: "Symptoms include pain on pressure and when sitting on the saddle, which may even require the cyclist to give up the sport." Treatment includes surgery or a steroid injection. The report also suggested changing bike saddles could help, after one case of a 29-year-old female cyclist who developed the testicle. "She was reluctant to give up the sport and opted to change the saddle, which, on follow-up, appears to have helped," said the report. No wonder some of those blokes on the Tour de France look uncomfortable at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 It's probably the vast quantity of drugs the cyclists take that do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The phenomenon that friction of rubbing against your nether regions does create a growth is not restricted to cycling, I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
