Attention Men! Do you use your laptop like this?

Male infertility, specifically ‘subnormal semen parameters’ is a complex problem with many variables affecting the sperm function –

❌Count
❌Motility
❌Morphology (the appearance of the sperm, any abnormalities etc)

🏃‍♂️One of the modern age problems affecting the semen parmeters is the wrong usage of Laptops.

🧑‍💻 Laptops offer great convenience, but recent data suggests that prolonged usage of laptops on laps can have significant effects on the semen parameters.

♨️This can raise the testicular temperature which can affect the sperm production and function.

Interestingly, for the same reason, even nature has placed the testicles outside the body as the higher body temperatures are not conducive for the sperm function.

🤔Testicles in the male baby are initially present in the abdomen and by 25-35 week of pregnancy, they descend into the scrotum.

Undescended testis, persisting beyond 3-6 months after birth need a surgery to place them in the scrotum for the same reason.

✅Another option is to have a cooling pad for the surface for your laptop which can provide a buffer between the lap and the radiant heat of the laptop.
