Does very frequent steam baths reduce men's fertility?

Question

I am a 20 year-old guy living in a tropical region in calcutta, india. i want to take steam baths, once every week, for six months continuously. i have heard some kind of reports that it might lead to infertility among men. is that true?

Also, what are the effects of steam bath, other than cleaning the pores in our body?

thanks for your answers in advance.

Answer 1

You've got millions of the little guys, so what if you evaporate a few thousand.

Answer 2

Yes, there is a good chance your sperm count will drop. Sperm are only produced at controlled temperatures, which is why the testes move up and down, and in and out, seemingly at random. They are controlling their temperature. However, a steam bath produces more heat than they can compensate for, raising the body's core temperature. The effects are only temporary, and your sperm count should return to normal in between and after you stop taking the baths.

The main effect of the steam bath is to raise your body's core temperature; you are unable to sweat because the air is already saturated, so your body cannot cool itself adequately. This is fine if you limit exposure. Lengthy exposure increases the chances of heat stroke, and possible death.

Answer 3

Steam baths raise your body's core temperature. The reason that we men have a scrotum is to maintain the temperature of the testicles below body temperature. Sitting in an environment like a steamer continously will affect the ability of the testicles to produce vaible sperm, in quantity or quality I'm not sure. I just know it's not a great idea. Especially if you are trying to conceive.
It is especially not a form of birth control. I know guys who use the steam room and have impregnated their spouses. You need to use birth control even if you are trying to become pregnant with your wife during the weeks you are sitting in the steamer.

Answer 4

Yup!

Even sitting in a hot tub ro warm pool can reduce your count as well as masturbating too much.

Your semen should be as white as wood glue and pearl like abalone white. When released it should be a little uncomfortable, not really painfull and shoot out in a thick stream that strings together like thick spit or spider web effect and is very elastic. Men with a high sperm count usually shoot loads that are so stringy that they never completely release the load from the opening of the penis after each stream squits out. It just keeps squiting in streams web like while orgasim occurs and continues in a thick stream with load after load until ejaculation stops after masturbating effect and where ever and what ever distance the semen landed at has to wiped away from the hole of the penis and is hard to colpletely clean off.

It semen has a cloudy look this could be trouble. Wear loose underwear and loose clothing to keekp your scrotom cool. Never wear really tight underwear and pants.

Answer 5

Mammals have their sperm producing organ outside the body, for example Scrotum (with a few exceptions). Because it is not possible to withstand our body temperature of 98.4 degrees Fareignheit. So it remains at lower temperature. It is preferred that you should take care not to make the region get enough heat/temperature. Orelse it will reduce it functionality. For example the workers working near blast furnaces in a factory reduce their fertility.

Answer 6

Last time I checked India as growing at a humongous rate in population. Rather good argument that it does not effect fertility. But overly warm conditions, such as tight fitting underwear can lower sperm count, moral - wear boxers.

Answer 7

its not dangerous 2 take a steam bath once in a week but can be if taken for 6 months!
it does not affect man's fertility
its good for health as it keeps one fresh & feel good.

Answer 8

Although steam rooms are good for the skin, muscles, stress and so on, they really do effect your fertility. Anything that hot on a daily basis is bound to kill sperm.

Answer 9

Yes it does. ALSO THE SAME APPLIES TO WOMEN. If you sit in hot baths, hot tubs, etc. your fertility is also reduced.

IT IS A SAFE FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL: sitting in hot tubs 20 minutes a day--for both men and women.

Answer 10

Yes. Temperature is important to the survival of semen. Just as tight shorts that make the testicles too high in temperature for the little devils to survive, so does other elevated temperatures effect them.
