The influence of laptops on the fertility of men

30.06.2009 | By: Tjaša Babič

Using a laptop in your lap can have long-lasting consequences. It can also have an influence on the fertility of men.

We have already become addicted to technology. It is part of our everyday life. Albeit many warnings that various technological achievements also have harmful consequences, we still buy them, compete with them and have them as a status symbol.

 

Laptop’s heating affects us

The connection between the temperature of the scrotum and the fertility of a man is already known. Fertility can therefore be influenced by hot baths, sauna and tight fitting underwear.

Laptop has become a completely common thing. No wonder, since they are so handy. Maybe even too much. Their usefulness can cost men their fertility.

If you use your laptop on the bed or anywhere else where you have to place it on your knees, you are in danger of diminishing your fertility. The penis and testicles do not like heat, and laptops can warm up to 70° C. Not only they warm up but also force a man to sit with the legs very close together, which causes an additional problem for the testicles because they are trapped as if in a sauna.

Overheating for an hour already has consequences

At the New York University, 29 healthy men aged between 21 and 35 participated in an experiment.

The temperature of their testes was measured in the period of one hour in different sitting positions suitable for the use of a laptop.

 

It was found that sitting with thighs pressed together causes the temperature of the testes to rise by 2.1° C. When a laptop was added, the temperature increased by 2.6° C. The data known to date show that deviations within 1° C are appropriate. Slightly larger deviations can cause the reduction in sperm cell count to 40%.

Scientists have not yet established how often and how long do you have to be exposed to the heat of a laptop to cause permanent damage, and what is the point at which it is possible that the state returns to normal, because long-term research studies required for that have not been carried out yet.

 

Knowledge, experience and the results of existing studies show that you definitely have to be carful when using a laptop. Fortunately, for those who cannot image life without a laptop on their knees, some manufacturers have already started thinking of how to solve this problem.
