Male Fertility at Risk With Frequent Laptop Use:
As part of a healthy lifestyle with a man’s fertility in mind, Dr. Bastuba recommends stopping habits like hot tub use and high alcohol intake. Hot tub use may lead to overheating in men’s scrotal area, which may cause a low sperm count. Using a laptop placed on your lap for over 15 minutes has a similar effect, according to a recent study. Researchers found that laptops reach “sperm unfriendly” temperatures on the surface of the device within just a short time, causing scrotal hyperthermia. An abnormally high body temperature in the scrotal area will be enough to impair healthy sperm production. It has been theorized that frequent usage of laptops several times a day over many years may even cause irreversible infertility.

There is little reason to be concerned when exposure doesn’t happen over long periods of time. Short-term exposure is reversible within three months – the time is takes to produce new, healthy sperm. Dr. Bastuba recommends avoiding long-term use of laptops on men’s laps and legs until more studies confirm the safety of the devices.
