I. Are electric blankets harmful to men?
Sperm are particularly sensitive to high temperature environments. Under normal physiological conditions and general environment, the temperature of the scrotum should be more than 3°C lower than body temperature, that is, around 34°C. Our body temperature is 37°C, and the testis and epididymis, which are located in the scrotum, are also significantly cooler than body temperature. This is one of the important conditions to ensure the occurrence and maturation of sperm, and all factors that increase the temperature of the scrotum, testis and epididymis may hinder the occurrence and maturation of sperm.
If you are in a high temperature environment for a long time, such as excessive use of electric blankets, sauna, wearing jeans, etc., can increase the temperature of the scrotum, testis and epididymis, and affect the production and maturation of sperm. Therefore, men who are ready to give birth and want to have prenatal and postnatal care should not use electric blankets for a long time.
Second, how to use the electric blanket
1. The power-on time should not be too long. Generally, the power is turned on before going to bed, and the power should be turned off when going to bed. Do not use overnight.
2. People with allergic reactions should not use electric blankets.
3. Those who often use electric blankets should drink more water.
4. The electric blanket should not be in direct contact with the human body, and a layer of blanket or sheet should be placed on it.
