The enemy of gentlemen

Looking back at the history of the pants buckle, people were startled to realize that putting the sharp 'metal teeth' next to the sensitive parts of men is really a bad idea.

Since the belt buckle was invented in 1913, it has demonstrated unprecedented popularity, penetrating every corner of the globe thanks to its ability to replace buttons on all types of pants, from trousers, jeans to khaki pants, in men's and women's costumes. However, it is not until now that experts discovered that people are paying the price for convenience as well as the speed of the pants buckle, and the number of victims is not small. According to the survey published on BJU International, an estimated 17,616 people were taken directly to the emergency room due to 'little boy' injury because of pants locking in the period 2002 - 2010, in the US alone. .

According to MinnPost.com, the majority of cases occur in men, only 5 cases have women. It is estimated that most male genital trauma cases are children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Obviously, the men have learned the experience of blood and must be careful with the life of their whole life before the 'metal teeth' always waiting for the cap. In fact, zipper pants are the only single cause that can cause the most serious injury in male genital injuries, followed by cycling, but only in adult men. . In children and adolescents, the highest cause of injury is still the toilet lid falling down to the "little boy" , then the zipper of pants, according to NBC News. In a 2008 survey, also published on BJU International, scientists found 4 cases of boys aged 2 to 4 years were taken to the emergency room because of the genitalia lid hit the genitals. .

However, rare cases of zippers cause permanent or serious male genital injury, according to research leader Herman Singh Bagga of the University of California in San Francisco (UCSF). But in some rare cases, zipper-related injuries still need surgical intervention, such as circumcision without anticipation.

If relatives or friends fall into the situation of being attacked by a quarter of the pants, Bagga expert advises to gently pull the dream down. If not, Dr. Steven M.Selbst, Professor of Jefferson University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, should advise to pour oil on the contact.' The trick here is to keep the oil at ease' , the website The Huffington Post quoted Professor Selbst, and let the victim sit there for about 20 to 30 minutes. After this time, the upper layer of skin will automatically slip out of the lock cord, though in some cases it is necessary to use a cotton swab to help part.

To avoid falling into this dilemma, UCSF researchers recommend that men should wear tight underwear. And parents should not buy zippered pants for boys until they are sure they can handle the buckles themselves without injuring themselves.
