Scrotal hyperthermia; etiologic factors: facts and hypotheses.

摘要: In animals, spermatogenesis was experimentally shown to be dependent on ambient (Cameron and Blackshaw, 1980), testicular (Keel Abney, 1980) or scrotal (Malgrem Larson, 1989) temperatures. humans, occupational living habits could influence semen quality apparently through insulation (Laven et al., 1988), as well summer heat (Levine 1988) temperature (Bornam 1989). Alterations in were reported associated with intrinsic hyperthermia (Zorgniotti MacLeod, 1973; Mieusset 1987, 1989; Zorgniotti Sealfon, 1988). Avoidance of hyperthermia, such baths tight clothing, also improve seminal characteristics (Lynch 1986) successful results obtained infertile men chronic treatment hypothermia 1986).
