LAPTOP ON LAPS MAY LOW SPERM COUNTMen who regularly balance their laptop computers on their laps when working can lower their sperm count and risking their ability to have children.
The potential risk comes from the heat generated by the laptop computer and the close position of one's thighs when balancing the computer on one's lap, may cause the scrotal temperature increase significantly. Increased temperature may reduce the sperm count.
This heat is transferred to the scrotum, where the temperature can rise several degrees, putting users within the danger zone for testicular dysfunction.
The findings suggest that young men should place laptop computers on a desk, a table or anywhere else but their own laps.
Scientists have known for years that an increase of even 1 degree Celsius in testicular or scrotal temperature can decrease the production of healthy sperm by as much as 40 percent.
