Exposure to chemicals or Increased Testical Temperature |
|
 |
People can be exposed to toxic chemicals in the workplace or at home, and indeed using common household cleaning fluids in unventilated areas may affect male fertility. Increased testicular temperature is another common cause of poor sperm morphology. Seemingly benign occupations that require individuals to spend the majority of their day sitting at a desk can also be problematic. When sitting for a prolonged time, the testicles are drawn up close to the body resulting in an increase in testicular temperature. Those individuals may be advised to get up and walk around periodically to return the testicular temperature to normal. Sleeping in tight fitting clothing, or regular use of a bicycle, can also increase scrotal temperature to a point where sperm morphology is affected.
