The testicles are located outside the body to maintain a slightly lower temperature, which is optimal for sperm. A number of Studies Suggest elevated temperatures can impair sperm quality, as sperm production is very sensitive to the temperature. High temperatures, such as those found in hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, can adversely affect sperm parameters and can lead to low sperm count or oligospermia.
Low sperm counts directly affect the fertility. If the number of sperm is less, the chance to fertilize the egg is also reduced. However, low sperm counts not only reduce their chances of becoming a parent. Interestingly, the consequences of low sperm are extended in addition to reproductive health. Emerging surveys Indicates increasingly that reduced fertility in men can affect cardiovascular health.
