Skinny jeans are squeezing sartorially adept males too tightly in a particularly sensitive area, new research shows.
British researchers warn that the garment - made popular by celebrities including Jude Law and Russell Brand - is responsible for the occurrence of health problems around the groin, The Daily Telegraph reports.
The skinny jean has been linked to inflictions including twisted testicles, bladder weakness, urinary tract infections, low sperm counts, and fungal irritations, the report said.
"I have seen several cases of men who have twisted their testicles due to wearing jeans that are far too tight," high-profile British GP Hilary Jones told the Telegraph.
"Wearing tight-fitting clothing over a prolonged period of time can lead to urinary tract infections leading to overactivity of the bladder."
