Welcome to the Sperm Strengthening Camp

Producing high-quality sperm requires an optimized environment, as well as correct genetic and hormonal factors. The Sperman program has been designed to enhance the sperm production environment in the body by addressing several lifestyle risk factors and providing healthy recommendations that can positively impact sperm production and quality.

The Sperman program focuses on non-medical natural interventions that can benefit all men actively trying to conceive, whether fertility tests (such as sperm analysis) are normal or abnormal. Working through the Sperman program is a self-directed process, although some risk factors (such as quitting smoking) can be aided with the help of your personal physician. For men with abnormal fertility test results, addressing general health issues through our “General Health Program” can also be beneficial.

Similar to physical exercise, any improvements should be maintained with continued practice. We recommend retaining the modifications made during the training program ideally until your partner becomes pregnant and during the first three months of pregnancy. Naturally, you don’t expect that just four weeks of exercise to improve your overall health or four weeks of antioxidant intake or avoiding hot tubs will have a significant impact on the overall sperm quality.

The Sperman program is not designed to be easy, but it requires genuine commitment and perseverance to enhance the ability to produce the best possible quality of sperm. However, the reward of increasing your chances of having a healthy child is well worth all the effort.

How to Get Started with the Sperman Program

The first step is for the man to fill out the Male Fertility Assessment Form. If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the questions, go to the right side of the form, where you’ll find the heading inside the program. It is essential to read this section carefully and understand the necessary recommendations to effectively eliminate the adverse effects of those habits.

What is the duration of the Sperman program?

The sperm’s life cycle is approximately seventy-five days (or slightly over ten weeks), and any negative factors can adversely affect sperm results (such as sitting in a hot tub or smoking). These factors can have a negative impact on all sperm in the body at that time. Then, the body needs about another ten weeks to produce new sperm in place of the affected sperm. This means that any positive lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking, etc.) take at least one sperm cycle (ten weeks) and sometimes reflect in two cycles (twenty weeks or about five months) in sperm results. Therefore, the reasonable duration for this program is no less than a 6 months.

Does my wife need to delay taking her treatment until my treatment program is complete?

As long as you have a good semen analysis, you may not necessarily need to delay any planned treatment for your wife while completing your program. It is preferable for medical interventions for both partners to occur simultaneously

Do some interventions help in solving fertility problems?

There are many common lifestyle factors that negatively impact sperm production (such as smoking and drugs), leading to poor sperm quality. However, most factors will have a unique effect on each individual, and since the impact of these factors cannot be predicted for each person, it is necessary to eliminate or reduce as many of these factors as possible to obtain a larger number of high-quality sperm.

Nutrition and Exercise

Dddddddddd 1024x683

The impact of proper nutrition and exercise on sperm health

Improving fertility in men involves optimizing the sperm production environment as much as possible. If a man’s overall health is poor, it may have a negative impact on the quality and function of his sperm. A balanced diet and a good exercise regimen can help maintain overall health, thereby increasing the chances of conceiving a child.

Regular Exercise and Sperm Efficiency

Regular exercise for men can help maintain good heart and cardiovascular health, achieve and sustain a healthy weight. Of course, men with significant health issues should consult a doctor before starting an exercise regimen. The current recommendation by the American Heart Association for physical activity includes:

  • At least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity daily for at least five days a week (a total of 150 minutes per week), or at least 25 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for at least three days a week (totaling 75 minutes per week), or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity.
  • Moderate to intense muscle-strengthening exercises at least two days a week.

Moderate aerobic activities include brisk walking, cycling at less than 16 kilometers per hour, playing tennis, and walking in the park, among other activities. Vigorous activities include running, swimming, cycling faster than 16 kilometers per hour, jumping rope, and hiking for extended distances to increase your activity levels.

Exercises specifically tailored for some men in an attempt to improve fertility

  • Avoid wearing tight pants such as cycling shorts. It’s common for men to wear sportswear that is somewhat tight to provide more support in the scrotal area (such as running shorts, cycling shorts, or compression shorts). However, one of the main ways the body regulates its temperature is by expanding the scrotal sac, increasing its surface area to enhance sweat evaporation. Tight shorts during exercises, however, prevent the relaxation of the scrotum, leading to increased scrotal temperatures, which can have a negative impact on sperm production.

    Excessive cycling, especially with a narrow bike seat and tight sportswear, and practicing cycling for a distance of 80 kilometers per week, all contribute to a negative environment for sperm quality. We recommend that patients avoid cycling more than 80 kilometers per week if actively trying to conceive. Shorter cycling distances (less than 60 kilometers per week) are less likely to make a significant difference, especially if you don’t wear tight clothing while cycling.

Exercises to enhance sperm production?

  • Studies have shown that intense physical exercises may be detrimental to sperm quality in some men. Individuals vary significantly, and it has been found that men who engage in one hour of exercise three times a week have better semen parameters than those undergoing daily intense training. Although changes have also been observed in sperm count and motility, the most dramatic effects were noted in sperm morphology. Men who trained intensively had somewhat more normal-shaped sperm than those with less intense training. Despite similar sperm counts and motility in both groups, it has been suggested that excessive training reduces sperm quality by increasing oxidative stress and raising scrotal temperature.

    If you engage in intense sports and experience a decline in semen quality, it is advisable to switch to moderate exercise, avoiding strenuous sports.

Nutritional Recommendations

  • Multiple studies have shown a connection between adopting a healthy and balanced diet and having normal sperm analysis. So far, there isn’t a specific diet tailored for male infertility, but there are general principles for beneficial and harmful foods for sperm production. The goal is to make sustainable dietary changes that will benefit your reproductive health. If you are looking for a strict diet, it’s likely that you won’t be able to sustain it, and you may not see significant improvements in your reproductive health and fertility. Additionally, strict diets may put unnecessary stress on yourself. The guidelines provided here are designed to encourage better dietary choices in general without being overly restrictive.

Good Foods for Male Fertility

  • In general, we aim to follow a balanced diet with a focus on these healthy foods:

    1. Fresh fruits and vegetables: Aim to consume fruits and leafy vegetables five or six times a day. Try to find organic vegetables and fruits to reduce exposure to pesticide residues.

    2. Lean protein: Choose low-fat protein sources in moderate amounts. Good choices include fish (avoiding types high in mercury, such as large fish), skinless poultry, turkey, legumes (beans, lentils, peas), nuts (including nut butter), seeds, egg whites, and low-fat dairy products (such as skim milk or 1% milk, low-fat cheeses like feta and ricotta).

    3. Complex carbohydrates: Include whole, unprocessed carbohydrates in your diet. Opt for whole grains like barley or quinoa instead of white bread and pasta. Choose rolled or steel-cut oats over instant oats. Explore different whole grains such as barley or quinoa and consider sweet potatoes, corn, beans, peas, lentils, and other legumes instead of white potatoes.

    4. Unsaturated fats: These fats can help lower harmful cholesterol (LDL) and some can improve levels of good cholesterol (HDL). Unsaturated fats come from plant sources and fish. Good sources include oily fish (such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, sardines, and herring), plant oils (like olive, canola, peanut, flaxseed, and sunflower oils), nuts (e.g., almonds and hazelnuts), and seeds (such as sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds).

Bad fats

  • Some fats in the diet are necessary for health, but make sure to consume more of the healthy fats mentioned above and less of these fats that can cause health problems:

    1. Saturated fats: These come largely from animal products such as high-fat dairy (butter, cream, ice cream, whole milk), high-fat cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, Parmesan, cream cheese), and fatty cuts of meat and poultry skin. They can also be found in some plant sources like palm oil and coconut oil. If the fats are solid at room temperature, they are likely saturated.

    2. Red meats: If you eat red meat, do not exceed about 500 grams per week.

    3. Fried foods: These often contain unhealthy fats, in addition to being high in calories.

    4. Trans fats: Avoid them. They are plant oils that have undergone an industrial process for production and extended shelf life. Studies have shown that they raise levels of harmful cholesterol (LDL) while lowering levels of good cholesterol (HDL). Trans fats are often found in processed baked goods (cakes, pies, cookies, pizza dough, hamburger buns), snacks (biscuits, chips), fried foods, and frozen dinners. Food manufacturers are required to include trans fats in the nutrition facts panel, and you can also check the ingredient list for words like “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated,” which indicate the presence of trans fats.

Is there a problem with using soy products

  • Soy products, soy sauce, soy milk, and soy flour contain compounds with hormonal activity such as estrogen. Several studies have suggested a potential link between regular soy consumption and reduced sperm parameters. Although these findings are controversial, I recommend that men avoid regular consumption of soy while actively trying to conceive.
 
 

Sugar: Not always sweet?

  • Simple sugars raise blood glucose levels and provide many calories with little nutrition. I suggest avoiding them when possible, along with sweetened beverages (soda, sweetened tea, fruit juice), sweets, cakes, cookies, jams, and jellies. The sugar content in ketchup and sauces might surprise you, so read labels and look for different names sugar hides under, such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, raw sugar (brown or beet), molasses, evaporated cane juice, cane sugar, corn syrup, and high-fructose corn syrup.

Severe diet programs for weight loss

  • Severe dietary systems that eliminate entire food categories and prescribe specific types are generally not good for fertility

Pesticides and toxins and their potential impact on sperm

  • Unfortunately, many foods considered “healthy” and beneficial for sperm can also be contaminated with environmental toxins. This can occur in the form of insecticides used on healthy fruits and vegetables, as well as heavy metals that can accumulate in fish and shellfish.

    In this guide, the term “pesticides” will be used to describe the chemicals used by agricultural industry bodies to control insects, harmful weeds, rodents, and fungi. The use of these agents is widespread, with at least 60% of agricultural products found to be positive for contamination with at least one pesticide. Multiple pesticides have been found to have a negative impact on sperm parameters, and it is assumed that this negative effect is due to factors such as disruption of the pituitary glands, increased oxidative stress, and damage to the testicular layers. The documented numbers of dead sperm and their inability to move at a higher rate in men increase with the consumption of foods exposed to pesticides. In other words, consuming foods contaminated with pesticides can negate the positive effects of increased fruit and vegetable intake.

    As for consuming seafood, it has a negative impact due to the intake of heavy metals (such as mercury) on sperm production and quality. Interestingly, the negative effect of these heavy metals can be compensated for by the overall positive consumption of seafood on sperm formation.

     
     

Dietary Detox Strategies

    • Consume smaller quantities of foods known to be contaminated with pesticides. Opt for “organic” products, especially fruits and vegetables known for greater pesticide exposure. Wash fruits and vegetables more vigorously before consumption.

      Heavy Metals:

      Regarding heavy metal contamination, a good strategy is to continue consuming seafood (especially the previously mentioned oily fish) but try to avoid types known to have high levels of mercury. These include mackerel, marlin, shark, swordfish, and king mackerel. For most people, it will be easy to avoid all of these except tuna, but consuming tuna represents the primary source of mercury in the diet.

      Insecticides:

      Concerning exposure to insecticides, there are three basic strategies that can be used to try to reduce exposure to pesticides:

      Focus on minimal production prone to exposure to pesticides. Different types of fruits and vegetables usually have different levels of pesticide contamination. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has compiled a list of beneficial and harmful nutrition, indicating fruits and vegetables that generally have the highest and lowest rates of pesticide contamination in this country.

      Clean Nutrition:

      • Beneficial Foods: Strawberries, Spinach, Nectarines, Apples, Grapes, Cherries, Peas, Tomatoes, Celery, Potatoes.

      • Foods Polluted with Pesticides: Avocado, Sweet Corn, Pineapple, Cabbage, Eggplant, Watermelon, Kiwi, Cantaloupe, Cauliflower, Asparagus, Onion, Frozen Sweet Potatoes, Papaya, Broccoli.

      Every Organic Food:

      One potential strategy to reduce pesticide consumption is to try to consume products labeled as “organic,” especially foods from the diet contaminated with pesticides. To be classified as organic, the food must be able to prove that it does not use any insecticides or synthetic fertilizers in its production, as fertilizers can remain in the soil for some time, and pesticides can blow in the wind or migrate from other areas after rain. While organic foods do not eliminate exposure to pesticides, they significantly reduce it. This approach is undoubtedly more costly, but studies have shown that organic diets can improve sperm quality in men.

      Wash Your Food:

      There is evidence that spending some extra time washing your produce thoroughly can remove some of the pesticides present. The effectiveness depends on the specific type of fruit or vegetable, as well as the type of cleaning used. We won’t provide in-depth tips here on how to wash each different type of fruit and vegetable, but most of them use a combination of soaking either in salt, white vinegar, or baking soda solution for periods ranging from two minutes to 20 minutes, then rinsing or wiping the vegetables with a damp cloth or brushing them, depending on the hardness or softness of the skin.

Obesity and Thinness

Dddddddddd

The Impact of Obesity and Thinness on Sperm Health

Body Mass Index and Fertility Potential in Males

Maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) can help increase fertility potential in males. Both overweight and underweight conditions can have a negative impact on sperm production and quality. It is recommended that men maintain a normal BMI between 20 and 25. The most beneficial way to achieve this from a fertility perspective is through regular exercise and adopting healthy dietary choices.

Overweight/Obesity (High Body Mass Index)

Obesity is a growing problem worldwide, contributing to diseases like diabetes and heart conditions. Among other health issues, excess weight can negatively impact male fertility due to hormonal effects and increased oxidative stress on the body. Excessive fat can have a detrimental effect on male hormone levels, increasing female hormones and reducing FSH and LH hormones. Additionally, testosterone levels, both free and total, tend to decrease with obesity. Excess fat around the thighs and inner thigh areas can isolate the testicles, increasing the temperature inside the scrotal region. There is a correlation between decreased sperm count and quality and increased weight or obesity. Imbalances in sexual function, ejaculation, and increased levels of sperm DNA fragmentation are associated with weight gain.

On the other hand, men with underweight may also experience issues with sperm production due to hormonal problems and nutritional issues. Underweight is linked to decreased testosterone levels, increased FSH, and decreased sperm density.

Underweight (LOW BMI)

As mentioned earlier, men with very low BMI may face fertility problems due to hormonal imbalances and nutritional deficiencies. Many men with a low BMI have very fast metabolism rates and cannot gain weight regardless of the number of calories they consume. If a man has any symptoms of hyperthyroidism (sweating, palpitations, etc.), a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level can be drawn to determine if he is suffering from an overactive thyroid. Otherwise, the best strategy for these men is to follow a healthy and balanced diet and avoid excessive exercise.

Managing High Body Mass Index (BMI)

From a fertility perspective, gradual weight loss through a combination of increased physical activity and dietary modification is the best way to improve fertility. Improving fertility in men involves optimizing the sperm production environment as much as possible. If a man’s overall health is not good, it may negatively impact the quality and function of his sperm. A balanced diet and good exercise can help maintain overall health, thus increasing the chances of having a child.

Exercise: Regular moderate-intensity exercise to increase heart rate is a good way to assist in weight reduction. Men with significant health problems should consult their primary care physician before starting an exercise regimen.

Diet: There are hundreds, if not thousands, of weight loss diets out there, but two reasonable diets for weight loss are the DASH diet and the Mediterranean diet.

  • DASH Diet: The DASH diet was developed to control high blood pressure, but it is also an excellent example of a balanced approach to eating. It includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, fish, poultry, nuts, and legumes as protein sources. It recommends limiting added sugars, red meat, and added fats.

  • Mediterranean Diet: The Mediterranean diet has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. This dietary plan emphasizes plant-based foods (nuts, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes), healthy fats (such as olive oil) instead of unhealthy fats (like butter), limiting red meat to a few meals per month, avoiding excess salt in favor of herbs and spices, and consuming fish and poultry at least twice a week. It also emphasizes the importance of staying physically active.

Strategies for Weight Loss That Can Impair Fertility

Dietary strategies characterized by severe calorie restriction and rapid body weight changes can lead to nutritional deficiencies and increased oxidative stress on the body. These changes can have a negative impact on the secretion of reproductive hormones in the pituitary gland, reducing testosterone levels, and impairing sperm production and quality.

Modern dietary programs can also pose a problem. For example, recent diets like Atkins and Paleo have defined carbohydrates as enemies, while labeling fats as either healthy or something to be encouraged. I won’t delve into the controversies surrounding the efficacy and safety of these diets for the general population. However, from a fertility standpoint, I have concerns about diets that completely exclude entire food categories such as carbohydrates. Some amount of carbohydrates is beneficial for normal sperm production, so low-carbohydrate diets should likely be avoided by men trying to conceive. Men on extremely strict plant-based diets may suffer from iron and zinc deficiencies, which can negatively impact fertility.

Weight loss surgery can result in significant and sustained weight loss in many obese patients. This type of surgery has shown potential positive effects on diabetes rates, blood pressure levels, and life expectancy. Some studies have indicated hormonal improvements in obese men after obesity treatment surgery. However, the overall impact on fertility has not been well-studied directly. Men undergoing obesity treatment surgery often experience a significant decrease in sperm count (which can even drop to zero) and sperm quality. Despite some hormonal level improvements, the long-term effects on fertility remain uncertain.

Possible reasons for this include problems with nutrient absorption due to surgical techniques that reduce the stomach’s size or wrap it. Additionally, the release of toxic substances can occur. Burning large amounts of fat in a relatively short period can have both short-term and long-term consequences. While these men may recover and improve their fertility status, ongoing problems with nutrient absorption can lead to long-term issues with sperm quality in some individuals.

Infertility and Aging

Male Aging and Fertility

The progression of a man's age

Qqqqq 1024x683

How is male age associated with sperm quality and fertility potential

In recent decades, men and women have been delaying having children until later in life for various social and economic reasons. Many couples choose to wait longer before having a child compared to couples in the past.

For women, there is a clear decline in fertility rates as they age, with a significant decrease in relative fertility in their late thirties compared to women in their early twenties. However, many women still dream of having their last child in their early to mid-forties. Men do not have the same biological clock to limit fertility potential, and stories abound of men fathering children in their eighties and even nineties. However, at some point, male fertility begins to decline, usually around the age of 35. Sperm analysis often shows a decline in sperm parameters after the age of 35, but most men do not experience a significant decline in overall fertility potential until the ages of 45 to 50 and beyond.

Causes of age-related changes in male fertility include hormonal imbalances, sexual dysfunction, exposure to accumulated toxins, increased oxidative stress on sperm cells, aging sperm cells with elevated levels of acquired genetic mutations, increased body fat, and obesity rates, chronic health issues (such as diabetes and thyroid dysfunction), prostate problems and treatments (such as BPH and cancer), and side effects of medications. Additionally, as men age, higher levels of sperm DNA fragmentation (measured by the DNA fragmentation index or DFI) may occur, with normal DFI values being less than 30%.

Changes in semen analysis:

When men reach the end of their thirties, some declines in semen analysis occur, although it generally does not lead to a reduction in fertility rates until after a decade has passed. Aging is associated with a decrease in sperm count, motility, and an increase in abnormal shapes. Another common change in semen analysis over time is a decrease in semen volume (as the aging prostate and seminal vesicles produce less fluid). Of course, there is wide individual variation due to various factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and overall health.

Natural fertility:

Studies have shown that men in their forties and older have lower chances of successfully conceiving through natural intercourse. Additionally, for older men who succeed in natural conception, the time it takes to achieve pregnancy is much longer. Studies have indicated a four to five times greater chance of taking a year or more to establish a pregnancy with advanced paternal age compared to men in their twenties or younger.

Miscarriage and fetal death:

Increased rates of pregnancy loss have been observed in pregnancies involving older men compared to younger men. The risk of spontaneous miscarriage (loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks) increases by 1.58 times in men in their forties and 1.9 times in men in their fifties. Rates of stillbirths (defined as pregnancy loss at or after 20 weeks) are 1.23 times higher for men in their forties and 1.36 times higher for men in their fifties. This is logical as 50% of spontaneous miscarriages and 25% of stillbirths are believed to be associated with chromosomal abnormalities and/or structural abnormalities in the fetus. These chromosomal and structural abnormalities are known to be more common in pregnancies carried by older men.

Changes in assisted reproduction:

The impact of advanced paternal age on in utero fertilization outcomes is a controversial issue. Although a decline in semen analysis is expected to have a negative impact on pregnancy rates in the fifth and sixth decades of a man’s life, studies have shown lower rates of fertilization and live births in the offspring of older men using assisted reproductive technologies. These results are accompanied by higher rates of chromosomal imbalances (chromosomal abnormalities) in embryos produced using sperm from older men. One study found that the rate of embryo imbalances in men under 40 was 59.1%, compared to 73.9% in men aged 50 or older.

Success rates of assisted reproduction in older men may also be influenced by the age of the woman. Damage to DNA from pesticides tends to be higher in older men, and it is known that a woman’s egg can repair some degree of this damage. However, the ability of the egg to repair DNA damage decreases as the woman advances in age, potentially resulting in eggs from an older woman being less capable of repairing DNA damage in sperm from older men.

Some studies have shown that when using in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), there is no significant decrease in pregnancy rates concerning paternal age when semen parameters are normal. However, in men with reduced sperm count, pregnancy rates for IVF/ICSI decrease with the increasing age of the man.

Pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) is a technique that can be used in conjunction with assisted reproductive technologies to screen for genetic abnormalities in embryos for the selection of the “best” embryo for transfer back into the woman’s uterus. Advanced maternal age is considered one of the acceptable indicators for using PGS, and at this stage, advanced paternal age is not considered an indicator if the female is younger. However, this recommendation may change as more data is collected.

Increased risk of inherited disorders:

Traditionally, it has been believed that children of older mothers have a higher risk of birth defects and chromosomal abnormalities. However, more recent attention has been given to understanding how the father’s age affects rates of congenital and other developmental abnormalities. The following is a list of disorders that are considered to have higher rates in children of older fathers. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that the vast majority of older men conceive children without any genetic or congenital abnormalities.

Down syndrome:

Older mothers have an increased risk of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome, but with men, only about 10% of Down syndrome cases may be due to paternal causes. The risk increases when the mother is also older (over thirty).

Personality Disorders: Studies have shown that there is an increased risk of developing schizophrenia among children of older fathers, especially in men aged fifty and older. These men have a threefold greater risk of having a child with schizophrenia compared to men under the age of twenty-five.

Autism: The risk of having a child with autism seems to be associated (at least partially) with the father’s age, increasing with men aged forty and older by five to six times compared to men in their thirties or younger.

Dominant Physical Transformations: Humans have two copies of each chromosome, one inherited from each parent. Sometimes, abnormal genes are inherited from one parent (or occasionally both). Whether the abnormal gene leads to a disorder in the child depends on multiple factors. Dominant dominant disorders are chromosomal abnormalities that require only one abnormal copy of the gene for the disease to appear. The risk of having a child with some types of these genetic abnormalities increases with the father’s age. A forty-year-old father has a chance of 0.3% to 0.5% of conceiving a child with chromosomal abnormalities. By the age of fifty, this risk doubles for younger men.

Examples of dominant chromosomal disorders that have been shown to increase with paternal age include:

  1. Growth mutations (dwarfism)
  2. Neurofibromatosis
  3. Marfan syndrome
  4. Alport syndrome
  5. Down syndrome

Although the rates of the mentioned diseases increase, they remain relatively low overall for the children of older fathers.

Birth Defects: Moderate age progression may increase the risk of having a child with cleft lip or palate, obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, or finger attachment.

Ethical Fetal Testing: While the vast majority of older men have normal children, there is accumulating evidence that the risk of some birth defects increases with the father’s age. This increased risk appears to be magnified when the wife is also older. At this time, there are no available tests to detect a high risk of problems such as autism or schizophrenia. Genetic diagnosis before implantation (PGD) can be used in conjunction with IVF, and samples can be taken from the placenta (weeks 01-12 of pregnancy) and amniotic fluid (weeks 15-20 of pregnancy). These are examples of tests that can be used to detect genetic abnormalities in embryos, in addition to routine ultrasound examination and some types of blood tests. With some of these tests, the doctor can determine whether the pregnancy is complete or not if a major genetic defect is detected.

Exposure to Heat and Infertility: The effect of temperature and excessive heat on the quality of sperm is a known factor in infertility, and increased testicular temperature may impair sperm production.
