Men with large testicles are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease

Men with large testicles have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, according to research by scientists at the University of Florence (Italy).

Scientists at the University of Florence conducted studies with 2,809 men of different ages. Volunteers measured testicular size and hormone levels before being monitored for 7 years.

During this time, the team found that men with large testicle size often had higher levels of luteinising hormone . Scientists believe that this hormone may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.

Scientists are surprised by the above results because previous studies have shown that men with large testicles have a better reproductive capacity. This is also said to be a sign of good health.

Dr. Giulia Rasterelli, the head of the study, said: 'Although testicle size is thought to conjecture male fertility, our research shows that the size of the testicle is large. may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease '.

Scientists believe that testicle size can be used as a way to diagnose the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, they are not sure how the size of the test is considered to be large and harmful to health.

'More research is needed to clarify the mechanism and factors of testicular size that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease,' said Dr. Giulia Rasterelli.
