When my laptop overheats on my lap, what are the medical issues for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat + cramps: The heat from the bottom of the laptop produces uterine contractions. Men also need to be cautious about laptop heat as it can reduce sperm production and counts. Place an object over your lap such as a pillow or newspaper to absorb the heat or place the laptop on a desk or table when in use.
