Patient's question:
Can frequent sauna sessions lead to male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the most suitable temperature for the testicles to produce sperm is 34 to 35 degrees Celsius. The germinal tissue is very sensitive to an increase in testicular temperature. Any factor that raises the temperature of the testicles, such as cryptorchidism, wearing tight jeans all year round, taking long sauna sessions, or soaking in hot springs, can significantly cause the testicles to stop producing sperm or reduce sperm count or sperm quality, leading to infertility or abnormal development of offspring.
