Laptops have become an indispensable part of our daily lives and work. However, did you know that prolonged use of a laptop on your lap could potentially affect your fertility? A study led by Dr. Yefim Sheynkin from the State University of New York found that due to the heat generated by laptops, prolonged use on the lap could raise the temperature of the scrotum by 2.8℃. This figure may seem insignificant, but if you know that science has confirmed that an increase in testicular temperature is related to male infertility, you might pay attention to this.

To protect your fertility, you may need to change your laptop usage habits. For example, choosing other sitting positions (for example, sitting with your legs slightly apart) or shortening the use time of the laptop may help reduce the temperature of the scrotum.

If you have been struggling with infertility, then you might be interested in this study. For men with poor sperm quality, doctors usually advise them to wear loose pants and avoid hot baths to lower the temperature of the scrotum. Therefore, Dr. Sheynkin's research team suggests that long-term use of laptops may cause irreversible or partially reversible changes in male reproductive function.

However, this study did not explicitly point out the direct connection between laptop use and male infertility. Dr. Stephen Sandheimer, a fertility expert from the University of Pennsylvania, questioned Sheynkin's research results, insisting that it is not clear whether the increase in temperature is clinically important. Therefore, further research is clearly needed to determine the connection between the two.
