Does hot spring bathing cause male infertility?

Patient's question:

I have been married to my partner for over a year. Recently, my family has been urging us to have children. A while ago, we borrowed money to have thorough medical examinations at the hospital, and both of us were found to be normal. I have a hobby of hating hot springs, but my family opposes me going to take a bath in them, saying it might affect fertility.

Doctor's answer:

Autoimmune Factors: Due to sperm exposure to the immune system, antisperm antibodies are produced in the body to counteract the sperm, causing the released sperm to agglutinate and fail to fertilize the female. This is one of the reasons for male infertility. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the condition. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
