Is it true that… saunas can reduce your sperm count?
Exposure to high temperatures won’t have a noticeable effect – unless your sperm count is already low
TL;DR
- Testicles function best at cooler temperatures, as they are located outside the body.
- Occasional sauna use has no significant impact on sperm count.
- Prolonged and extreme daily sauna use can reduce sperm count.
- Most men will still have sufficient sperm count for fertility despite reduced numbers.
- Men with borderline low sperm counts are most likely to be affected by high temperatures.
- Moderation is advised for any activity done in excess.
