Is There a Correlation With Laptops and Male Infertility?

In late 2010, reports surfaced showing that the use of a laptop may affect male fertility. Even in the case where a cooling block is used, while using the laptop, it can still affect fertility according to reports. Remember, the reason why testes are outside the body in the scrotum is so that they are not exposed to intense heat within the body.


   When we put a laptop or other electronic device knees, producing heat and can affect sperm production. Since the production of sperm requires a lower temperature, male fertility can be affected by the use of heat-producing electronic devices such as a laptop.


  Of course, it may be difficult to avoid using a laptop while traveling, and now many entrepreneurs explode their laptops while waiting at an airport or in a waiting room. Some suggest opting for a tablet instead, or use a laptop when a table or desk in front of you that you may ask. If you are looking for an excuse not to work at the door waiting for his plane to arrive, you may have just found a great one.

  If you think you may be faced with infertility problems, consult your physician for diagnosis or analysis. Your partner should also see a doctor if they had tried in vain for about a year to get pregnant. The cause of infertility could be the man or woman, so it is best if both partners are tested and evaluated.

   If it is found that male infertility is the problem, the doctor may suggest some lifestyle changes first, such as the use of boxers instead of briefs, preventing saunas or hot tubs, or avoid placing your laptop on her lap rather than placing it on a desk or table.

    If these lifestyle changes do not work, treatment may be the next option. IVF may be an option in many cases. This procedure involves the combination of sperm and eggs in the laboratory to create embryos, which are then transferred to the uterus of the woman. To increase the chances of success and in many cases of male infertility, intracytoplasmic sperm injection can be used. This is the direct injection of a single sperm into an egg.

   These days it seems that all our personal electronic devices have a risk of adverse health added. Being aware of these problems and understanding of the ways to reduce your risk is often very useful.
