A member asked:
I know that heat can affect the formation of new sperm. but what about the mature semen cell? can they get a dna damage from single heat exposure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: how much heat and for how long, may be problematic, however testicles are placed outside the body to protect germinal cells from body heat , a natural mechanism, if you have a fertility problem, better see a fertility specialist for evaluation, it isn't only heat , other more risky factors are there, wish you well
