Young males should avoid placing their laptops on their laps. This is according to Suzannae Kavic, MD, director of the division of reproductive endocrinology at Loyola University Health System. Apparently, the heat generated from laptops can cause difficulty in sperm production and development, resulting in infertility later in life.
Kavic advises placing laptops on desktops instead. The following are some other tips to protect male fertility:
- Avoiding hot tubs

- Refraining from smoking
- Avoiding excessive weight gain or weight loss
- Eating well
- Wearing boxers instead of briefs
Kavic also states that aside underlying health issues and medications can also be blamed for other fertility issues.
