What happens if you work with your laptop on your legs?

More and more studies point to a damaging habit among men the use of laptops on the legs, at least two studies independently conducted in 2010 in Argentina and the United States.

Scrotal temperature

Research in Argentina was carried out in Cordoba, at the Nascentis Reproductive Medicine Center ; It was done by taking and analyzing semen samples in healthy subjects after using laptops for several hours.

The United States was advanced by the State University of New York , and in this the scrotum temperature was measured , the skin that covers and protects the testicles.

Both studies concluded that the problem with this habit is that increases the temperature in this region of the body and that this affects the production and performance of sperm.

Many mammals carry the testicles out of the body because to be produced and maintained, the sperm must be at a lower temperature than the rest of the body.In the case of humans this difference It is around two degrees.

When a laptop is placed on the legs, the heat emitted by the battery helps to increase the temperature rporal on the thighs and crotch.Use for more than two hours can raise the scrotal temperature by one degree Celsius, and for more than four to two.

The sperm count in a semen sample obtained after using these devices tended to be lower than in a normal situation.Another effect is that the sperm move more slowly, thus decreasing their chances of reaching an egg, that is, favoring sterility.

Fictions and truths about use of laptops

With the popularization of portable equipment, stories about their supposed effects on people also came.Supposedly electromagnetic waves can cause sterility, impotence and even prostate cancer.None of this has been proven.

Instead, there is increasing evidence of the effects of ne heat catchers of the laptop battery when it is used on the legs.

Since sperm are renewed regularly, it is not certain that the use of this equipment permanently affects the reproductive capacity of the user, unless that the use is for more than four hours a day .

Recommendations

Use the computer on tables or other smooth surfaces.If you must use it on the lap do not do it for more than two hours, and once you have left the equipment take a shower, or go for a walk barefoot on the grass or bare ground, to discharge the heat and reconnect with the world.
