Does Working With Laptop On Lap Affect Sperm Production And Eggs In Women?

default
Posted on Thu, 22 May 2014
Question: Will keeping laptop on laps and working for long hours affects health of sperm in men or health of eggs in women?
Minimum 6 hours we will work with our laptops on our laps.

Next will eating egg have negative impact on sperm health or productivity?

Can we avoid genetic disorders/ hereditary problems from being passed on to our child, by taking any treatment or medicine while conceived or in some other stage?

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns. Following is my reply

1. Working with laptop on your lap is going to increase temperature around scrotum and decrease sperm production. Same with eggs in women.

2. Eating eggs is good for sperm and egg production. Dont worry.

3. No way genetic inherited diseases could be avoided. Folic acid tablets during beginning of pregnancy will help in avoiding some diseases from occurring.

4. Consider keeping laptop on a table while working than on lap.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards

Thanks doctor. If sperm is thick then it means count is good/healthy/motile. Is that true?

Hi

Thickness does not indicate anything. Please get semen analysis done which is a good way to find out about health of semen
