Patient's question:
Medical history: Working in high temperatures for a long time, trying for six months without pregnancyTreatment history and effectiveness: The female has been checked and everything is normal
What help is desired: What is the cause
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the optimal temperature for sperm production and survival is 1~2℃ lower than body temperature, which is precisely the function of the scrotum's heat dissipation. Working in high-temperature environments, taking hot baths, or spending long periods in high-heat conditions can disrupt the sperm's survival environment and damage the spermatogenic epithelium of the testes. The spermatogenic epithelium of the testes is specialized for producing sperm. Once it is damaged, the quantity, quality, density, and motility of sperm will decline, and it will also be difficult to regenerate new sperm. This will reduce the chances of conception and increase the risk of fetal abnormalities. Therefore, it is recommended that if you have plans to conceive in the near future, you should avoid high-temperature environments for at least one or two months in advance or take a break for a period of time.
