[Testes need to be cool]. [That is the one characteristic that makes them different from all other parts of the body]. Women have no equivalent. [It is well known that more men are now seeking assistance with fertility problems]. [Sperm counts are dropping in most western cultures and couples generally take longer to conceive]. What are some of the factors of modern lifestyle that might affect the temperature of the testes? ~mengandung
These days many men now wear fitted underpants that firmly support the testes. [Even if they don’t wear tight underpants, men frequently wear tight jeans or tailored trousers]. [Compare this with the free flowing world under the kilt and other loose fitting robes worn traditionally in many cultures]. Inside the jocks, the temperature of the testes is increased and especially so, if the jocks are at all tight. [Experiments by a team or researchers in Adelaide showed that rams that were made to wear the equivalent of modern underpants had reduced fertility]. [When these rams serviced ewes, not only was there a reduced rate of conception but there was a greatly increased rate of pregnancy loss].
Sitting causes a problem because the testes are compressed. A study of fertility in paraplegic men found that their imposed long-term sitting had an adverse effect on the sperm. The groin area becomes warmer during sitting. [In order for these men to regain their fertility it was necessary for them to undergo a special exercise program where they spent several hours each day out of their chairs]. Men who work as professional drivers have similar problems from long periods of sitting. [Problems related to temperature are usually reversible but it is necessary to have a few months spell from driving to recover]. ~kehamilan
Different types of underpants have different effects on temperature and temperature is reduced by 1.6 degrees if men sit with their thighs apart.
[All men who drive for a living or who spend long hours at a computer need to introduce some type of interruption program where they get up, stretch and walk around]. This should be undertaken once every half hour if possible. Where it’s not possible, there need to be more substantial exercise breaks taken at less regular intervals.
A recent Finish study measured the effects of different types of chairs on scrotal temperature. [They found that temperature changes occurred rapidly in as little as 20 minutes and that the type of chair made an important difference]. Their results could influence the types of chairs you select for your office. ~zuriat
