The urologist warned about the risks of frequent visits to baths

According to the doctor, frequent visits to the sauna, especially with prolonged exposure to high temperatures, can significantly affect male reproductive health. She clarified that overheating of the testicles harms the epithelium of the spermatic cords, where spermatozoa are formed. This can lead to damage and mutations, and in some cases, to a decrease in sperm quality.

In addition, as men age, they face a natural process of accumulation of mutations in their spermatozoa, which also reduces their ability to conceive. In combination with other factors such as hormonal and inflammatory changes, smoking and bad habits, this leads to a significant decrease in fertility.

"After stopping going to the bath or sauna, the spermogram indicators may not recover, because the appearance of mutations indicates a reduced activity of the genes that are required to prevent them," the specialist explained.
