5 Habits Burning Up Your Sperm Quality π₯
If you’re trying to conceive (TTC) now or in the near future, there are a few habits you may want to reconsider while on your journey.
This is because heat + sperm = don’t mix. β
And exposure to heat — not just high heat — can impact sperm quality in various ways.
There is a reason men have a scrotum — so that distance can be literally physically created between his sperm and his body when temperature rises.
And to keep those sperm at a nice, comfortable temperature.
So if you’re TTC, you or your partner may want to put these habits on hold:
π§ Sauna: While they can be absolutely therapeutic, saunas can cause sperm to heat up to a point where quality diminishes. There is a reason high fevers are correlated with lower sperm quality.
π² Bike Riding: This is a great form of exercise, but the physical compression of the scrotum in a bike seat and the heat generated while exercising can cause sperm quality to decrease if you’re a frequent rider.
πΊ Sitting in a Desk Chair: Most computer chairs are not well-ventilated and even so, you probably go hours before getting up. Sitting in a chair for long periods of time generates and traps heat in the groin which can lower sperm quality.
π± Laptops on Laps & Cell Phones in Pockets: The heat generated by these electronic devices alone can heat up your lap with no escape. Plus, the EMFs themselves also cause additional heat to be generated, which can diminish sperm quality.
π Hot Baths & Hot Tubs: Submerging your parts in hot water is like applying direct heat. Sitting in a hot bath or hot tub, especially for extended periods of time, can decrease sperm quality.
Just a bit of food for thought if you’re trying to optimize sperm quality for conception!
