Overheating during exercise

Overheating during exercise can have a significant impact on sperm health and fertility.
When the testicles are exposed to high temperatures, such as during intense physical activity or prolonged periods of cycling, the heat can adversely affect sperm production.
Research suggests that elevated scrotal temperatures can lead to decreased sperm quality, including lower sperm count and motility.
To mitigate the risk of overheating, men should opt for loose-fitting, breathable clothing during exercise and avoid hot environments like saunas and hot tubs.
Staying hydrated is also essential to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating.
