Laptops And Other Habits That Lower Sperm Count

Males who use laptops on their laps are likely to experience scrotal hyperthermia – elevated temperatures in their testicles – which can significantly affect the quality of their sperm, and consequently their fertility.

This is so because a key role of the scrotum is to keep the temperature of the testicles lower than the temperature of the body. The testicles are the organs that produce sperm. When the testicles are too warm, they can’t produce as much sperm, and quality of that sperm is lower.

That said, studies suggest the longer the testicles are exposed to a laptop and the closer the device is to the genitals, the higher the risk of damage to sperm and fertility.

However, males who place their laptops on their laps can take some actions to help protect their fertility and boost sperm count:

• Don’t cross your legs if you’re sitting upright or cross your ankles if you’re reclining: Keep your legs slightly apart.
• Cut back on how often you place your laptop on your lap to use it.
• Whenever you can, prop your laptop on a table or desk.

Other things you can do to protect your fertility include:

• Wear loose pants and underwear.
• Avoid hot baths and saunas.
• Maintain a healthy weight.
