Does heat effects the production of sperms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Chronic heat can affect sperm. Things like tight underwear, laptops, working in high heat environments like (chefs, metal workers, bakers, etc). Prolonged time in hot tubs or baths can all effect sperm. Most men are not effected by these things, but men that are exposed to these high heat environments are more likely to have sperm abnormalities as compared to men that don't.
