Now , does that mean that deliberate cold is good ? Well , it turns out that one of the major causes of lowered sperm count and overall reduced sperm quality . That's quite common is the presence of what's called a vice cell .
Totally zero cost . Just go into the menu , go to newsletter and scroll down and you'll find those when thinking about sperm quality , we want to remember that excessive heat is bad . Now , does that mean that deliberate cold is good ?
So here what I'm describing are positive yet indirect effects of a cold on hormone levels , both in males and in females . So for men , we talked about increased testosterone , improved sperm quality . That was indirect , right ?
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 . But both of those effects are likely to be indirect by virtue of reducing the temperature of the testicle overall .
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 .
