Q: What is the disadvantage of excess cycling and can it cause any harm to our reproductive organs?

A:Cycling can be a good form of cardio-vascular exercise but should be avoided in 2 cases: pain in the lower back and knees. As far as research goes, there is no evidence that it harms the reproductive organs. You could prevent any risk of harm by ensuring that you wear firm underwear while cycling. And like any activity, keep it within reasonable limits and there will be more good done than harm.
