Another study has indicated that a 40 percent decrease in sperm concentration has been recorded as a result of scrotal temperature increasing by 1 to 2 degrees.

Diagnosis of scrotal swellings To determine the nature of a scrotal swelling four aspects need to be assessed.
3
Each man's scrotal temperature was recorded every three minutes.
4

5
Scientific research has proven that scrotal hyperthermia can cause clinical subfertility (decreased fertility) in men.
6
The men who had working laptops experienced nearly a 5-degree increase in scrotal temperature.
7
The men with nonworking laptops also experienced an increase in scrotal temperature, though it was not as much as the other group.
8
The study showed that both the heat from the laptop and the position men use to hold the laptop create increased scrotal temperatures.
