I should mention those studies are done in humans to support the use of deliberate cold exposure . But again , if you're going to use deliberate cold exposure to improve sperm quality , can it work ? Yes , indeed , it can work either indirectly by increasing testosterone or directly by improving sperm quality .
So they're not just temperature related . It's pretty clear that using deliberate cold exposure can be healthy for the sperm because of the ways not that cold directly supports testosterone or sperm quality , but rather because cold reduces heat . Ok .
So ease into it , be safe . But it does appear that both for men for reasons I talked about a few minutes ago and for women that deliberate cold exposure can be beneficial for fertility and for hormone production . But in particular for females , in terms of regulating cortisol and for hormone production .
Therefore , reducing temperature is good . Likewise , with females , deliberate cold exposure can be good for the overall fertility process . Not because cold is good for the ovary or being cold is good for the ovary or for luteinizing hormone or for follicle stimulating hormone or anything else like that .
So any discussion about heat and sperm and how heat is detrimental to sperm has to raise this issue of whether or not cold is good for the testicle . Ok .
