Some laboratrory data suggest that PM 2. Since both PM 2. One strength of this study is that we are the first to investigate the nonlinear relationship between ambient temperature and sperm quality, finding that daily mean temperature has a threshold effect on sperm quality.
In addition, our analysis controlled for various potential confounders, including body mass index BMI , age, education level, smoking status, season of semen sample collection, days of abstinence, and relative humidity. Moreover, we took the effect of PM 2. However, there are several limitations in current study.
Despite the participants were selected through several inclusion and exclusion criteria, the subjects from hospital could not fully represent the general population, this might cause a misestimate of the association between ambient temperature and semen quality. Secondly, the city-wide outdoor average temperatures were used instead of individual temperature exposures, lacking of indoor temperature data and activity patterns of participants might lead to exposure measurement error.
More advanced techniques and methods, such as land use regression models, are required for more accurate individual exposure assessment. Thirdly, the variation in temperature over the day was not taken into consideration in this study, a future study may focus on the association between variation in temperature over the day and sperm quality, and the comparison of the effects of daily environmental temperature and variation in temperature.
In conclusion, our study indicates that the exposure to ambient temperature has threshold effects on sperm quality, and there are significant interactive effects of temperature and PM 2. The effects of ambient temperature were more adverse at high levels of PM 2. These findings may have important implications for the association between temperature, PM 2.

When semen was kept at 20 degrees C there was negligible deterioration in motility after 12 hours. However, there was a significant p. In these experiments mortility could not be restored by rewarming the semen. Viability followed motility closely at 20 and 37 degrees but at 4 degrees C viability was well preserved despite loss of motility. What is the normal motility of sperm?

Testicles are located outside of the human body because the ideal temperature for sperm production, and thus for male fertility, is about three to four degrees below the ideal human body temperature of While no one can entirely avoid the high temperatures outside, you can avoid the things that have been shown to contribute to male fertility problems.
