It's getting colder and colder since winter. Many people like to go to the sauna after work, and some even go with the whole family. Experts remind that although the sauna is enjoyable, it should be noted that male sperm can develop normally at 35.5~36.5℃, while the temperature in the sauna room is as high as 60 ~ 70℃. Men are prone to death and asthenospermia in such an environment, which affects reproductive function. Infertile men are advised not to take a sauna often.

Last Saturday, Mr. Liu's family of three went to the sauna. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu 13-year-old son felt testicular pain after steaming in the sauna. I didn't know it was caused by frequent sauna until I went to the hospital for examination. Experts pointed out that sauna has a certain health care effect on the body, which can speed up blood circulation, relieve muscles in all parts of the body and relax the body and mind. At the same time, it can prevent arteriosclerosis and treat arthritis, lumbago, bronchitis and neurasthenia. However, if it is too frequent, it will cause certain harm to the body, and frequent sauna for teenagers will cause potential harm to reproductive and intellectual development.

Experts say that the testis is an organ that produces sperm, and sperm can develop normally only at a constant temperature of 35.5~36.5℃, which is lower than normal body temperature 1~ 1.5℃. A considerable part of male infertility is caused by testicular temperature higher than normal, and high temperature environment including sauna is the natural enemy of sperm. The temperature in the sauna room is 70 ~ 80℃, and the lowest is 50℃. In this environment, men are prone to symptoms such as dead sperm and weak sperm, which is one of the main reasons for male infertility. According to the data, the Netherlands and Japan, the birthplace of sauna, have a high proportion of male infertility.

There is a view that men can recover and produce sperm normally as long as they leave the high temperature environment such as sauna room. Experts pointed out that the damage of high temperature environment to sperm is irreversible, and once it is caused, it is difficult to recover. Different from the influence of drugs on human body, it reduces or even eliminates the influence of drugs on sperm by metabolizing and expelling drug components. Therefore, infertile men should avoid frequent saunas. Especially 10-year-old teenagers, who are at a critical stage of reproductive organ development.

Alternating cold and hot is the key to sauna health care function, but it is also the root of health hidden danger. Experts remind that the sauna must strictly control the indoor temperature, humidity and bath time, including the number of cold and hot exchanges.

Experts remind that you must pay attention to five points when washing a sauna:

1. Each sauna time should not exceed 40 minutes;

2. It is not advisable to take a sauna on an empty stomach, hunger, satiety and fatigue;

3. If you feel dizzy, sleepy or unwell, you should leave immediately;

4. Children under10 should avoid taking a sauna;

5. Patients with previous history of hypertension and heart disease should avoid sauna.
