Remi Lindholm said the penis froze – the urologist was evaluating the problem

Remi Lindholm said on Saturday that his penis was frozen after the Olympic Games final trip. According to the man, “the pain was quite unbearable”.

Specialist in urology Teuvo Tammela I don’t think the penis is really frozen on the way – or at least it would be extremely rare.

– The penis retreats quite well in the cold. It doesn’t usually freeze. I don’t think that would happen, Tammela says.

However, cooling of the pelvic area can lead to prostatitis.

– The risk is much greater than the risk of the penis freezing. Those who are sensitive to it can get a state of irritation to the prostate that can last for weeks.

Inflammation of the prostate gland can cause pain that is also felt in the penis.

– Usually the symptom is numbness in the lower abdomen, sometimes also between the scrotum and the anus. It’s usually not very intense, but can bother you, for example, when you go to bed. Sometimes it can also be difficult to urinate. It’s an embarrassing trouble.

Inflammation of the prostate usually goes away on its own. If it is prolonged, NSAIDs can be used. For some, the ailment can also become a chronic problem.

– We have a lot of men who have it constantly or occasionally when the weather comes cold, Tammela knows.

Lindholm enjoyed Zhangjiakou’s freezing banana for an hour and 16 minutes. According to Tammela, it is difficult to assess the risks of freezing from the time spent in the cold.

– What matters is how deep it freezes. If it’s really cold, it can happen in half an hour, but I don’t have any research data on this.
