The testicles are suppose to be inside the body.But the main reason why the boys own are hanging outside of the body is because the body's internal temperature of 98.6°F is too hot for sperm production. So by hanging out, the scrotum keeps sperm a few degrees cooler. So, if not well taken care of might results to damage.
Below are common ways in which men damage their sperm without knowing.
1. Tight under wears: tight under wears use to cause too much heat which can lower sperm count (but not enough to act as a form of birth control). So tight clothing and underwear that keep testicles closer to body heat might, in theory, affect sperm count. But many experts think there isn't enough of a temperature change to make any significant difference.
2. Hot baths: Exposure to high temperatures, like in hot tubs, hot baths or saunas can cause the temperature of the testes to become too hot. This can kill sperm and lower sperm count. However, this effect is only temporary, and counts will go back to normal once the hot tub is avoided.
3. Infection: Many infections can interfere with sperm production or sperm health or can cause scarring that blocks the passage of sperm. These include inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis) or testicles (orchitis) and some sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea or HIV. In general always treat infection no matter how littles it is to avoid complications.
4. Varicoceles: Varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, which can cause infertility. However, not all varicoceles affect sperm production. Varicoceles can also cause testicles to fail to develop normally or shrink.
5. Laptops: Regular and long-term placement of a laptop on the lap can cause a rise in temperature, which is spermatotoxic and can kill sperm.” Even men keeping their knees together for prolonged periods can generate enough heat to decrease sperm viability.
6. Drugs: Certain drugs legal and illegal can have a negative effect on male fertility that is a man’s ability to father a child.
7. Mobile phone: There is increasing concern that the use of mobile phones may be associated with decreased semen quality and infertility. Cell phone radiation may negatively affect sperm quality in men by decreasing semen volume, sperm concentration, sperm count, motility, and viability, thus impairing male fertility.
8. Smoking: Impact of Smoking on Sperm and Semen Quality.Studies on male smoking have shown a decrease in the quality of semen. How does smoking affect sperm? Men who smoke have decreased sperm concentration, decreased motility that is how sperm swim, fewer normally shaped sperm, and increased sperm DNA damage. Do you still smoke?
9. Marijuana:
10. Heavy drinking
11. Steroids
