Fertility Tips - Keep The Testes Cool
A woman can develop antibodies to her mate’s sperm. To combat this, stop releasing sperm for a month, via a condom, etc. This may cause her sperm antibodies to decrease. Do not use anabolic steroids as they can shut down the pituitary gland, which will put the hormonal system out of balance. Athletes often have fertility problems. Long-time use of steroids can permanently damage the testicles. Keep the testes from over heating, as this produces sterile sperm for up to a day afterward. The testes must remain a half degree cooler than core body temperature. Fevers to the body, close-fitting underwear, or hot tubs, saunas should be avoided as they can also cause changes in ovulation.
