Expectant fathers should be wary of high temperature factors that kill sperm

Experiments have shown that heating the testicles locally for 30 minutes every day can have an adverse effect on the testicular spermatogenesis process in as little as 15 to 20 days. High temperature can lead to reduced sperm count, sperm deformity, and low survival rate. In real life, men encounter many high temperature factors. Male friends should pay attention to staying away from these risk factors and environments. Especially when you are preparing to be a father, you should stay away from high temperature environments for 3 months before your wife becomes pregnant to protect the health of your sperm.

Do not wear tight pants, do not take saunas or hot baths. Frequent hot baths and saunas can reduce sperm count and even lead to infertility. Do not use electric blankets. The high temperature generated by electric blankets can affect the production of sperm by the testicles, leading to male infertility. According to statistics, half of the men suffering from low sperm count and unexplained infertility have a history of scrotal hyperthermia. In some specific occupations, such as chefs, drivers, boiler workers, steel workers, construction workers who work outdoors in midsummer, etc., men who want to have children should temporarily change their positions or pay attention to taking health care measures.

The temperature of male testicles should be 1 to 1.5°C lower than other parts of the body, so that normal sperm can be produced. Sperm have strict temperature requirements and must be below body temperature in order to develop normally. , too high a temperature may cause sperm death, or be detrimental to sperm growth, or even cause sperm activity to drop too much, leading to infertility.
