Anyone with an abnormal testicular temperature?
So long story short after some years knowing that my brother cannot normally conceive without using ivf I came to know from my own experience that I have the same problem, aka oligospermia after trying with my oartner for more than a year. Too few sperm cells and those few usually are abnormal.
I researched and I read that normal testicular temperature to ensure proper sperm production and maturation should ideally be around 34°c. Thats where I reminded myself of how hot my body usually feels and how easily I get overheated especially after even some light cardiovascular activity, I always used to suffer the hot weather. So i took a thermometer and measured my scrotal temperature and indeed it was 35-36 °c!
I promptly asked my brother to go schedule a visit and to ask the doc to measure his temp and he had the same result, 36.
My question now is, has anyone else had this problem that seems to be mostly genetic? And if so did you find a solution for it? The doc briefly mentioned to my brother that there are some specific instruments to keep the testes less hot than the body but he says he was too vague and doesnt actually know what to do. Any ideas?
