Motorbike riders risk impotence and cancer

A recent curious heading led me to do some research on the effect of vibrations on the male riders... "Nyeri women love for boda boda 'ride': Vibrations it emits leaves them highly aroused" ..... "Many of the women I carry prefer to pay for a boda boda because of the vibrations it emits with most women sitting astride, it leaves them highly aroused," Kinyanjui said.

The motorcycle business in the country is generating income of Sh400 million daily according to the Motorcycle Assembly Association of Kenya. This cannot be wished away.

The motorcycle riders are subjected to extreme vibrations due to the vibrations of its engine, improper structural design of the motorcycle and the bad road conditions. The literature review reveals that the vibrations are most hazardous to the health if it exceeds the limit. A study observed that the rates of finger numbness, finger stiffness, shoulder pain and shoulder stiffness were significantly higher among traffic motorcyclists as compared with the control group. Vibration plays a dominant role in creating ill health. The vibrational energy waves transferred to the body of the exposed operator is transmitted through the body tissues, organs and systems of the individual causing various effects on the structures within the body before it is dampened and dissipated.

MEN who ride motorcycles are at risk of impotence and urinary problems because the vibration of the engine damages nerves in their penises, another study has found. It was shown that those who rode their bikes for about three hours every weekend found almost 70 per cent had problems gaining an erection or emptying their bladders.

The news is alarming for Boda Bodas as well as other riders who have turned in droves to motorcycles and scooters in the past few years to beat rising fuel prices and growing traffic congestion.

Most motorcycles put undue pressure on the perineum, the area between the anus and the scrotum, and restricted blood flow to the penis.
Vibrations from the engine also caused a decrease in two growth hormones in the bladder and prostate related to bladder relaxation.

Cancer threat
Various types of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF EMF) radiations are linked to health disorders including cancer. Millions of motorcycles generate excessive ELF EMF magnetic radiation up through the seat penetrating directly into the rider's groin and torso. The prostate is of major concern as it is one of the closest delicate glands invaded by the radiation. The colon and neighboring organs are also at risk. "ELF EMF magnetic fields penetrate through steel and even lead.
Let the young men be informed of the risks, lest we lose a whole generation!
