Hi Folks,
Been practicing hot yoga daily, and I’ve just read the heat is not good for a mans testicles. Is this true? The testicles hang away from the body as they prefer to be cooler at 35 deg. Celsius, while the body prefers 37 degrees. During a hot yoga reached practice the room reaches 40 degrees Celsius, this can’t be good for the male reproductive organs. Could it lead to infertility?
Regards,

People do get children in tropical countries. So no need to worry. Our body is 37 and testicles is hanging outside due to cooler climate. I never took my temp in warm climate but i guess its around 37 even then.
This is actually a very good question…bikram yoga room is heated to is 105F … but i do not think that it matters, because you body maintains its own blood pressure, temperature, etc. the body maintains temperature through sweat. I guess it might be hermful for one who does not sweat:)
ive read that the real problem is the tight underwear and the way we sit. those are bigger threats than alcohol marijuana and such.
“Our hot classes are held in a room heated to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 43 degrees”
From the studios website, 43 deg. Seems way too hot, wish they would have warm yoga instead. :). That’s even way hotter than in India, how is that suppose to be good?
They are smart fellas (the balls) when they get hot they move slightly away from the body… The human body is very clever so don’t worry 
As green said Alcohol is one of the worst, a few friends have just gone through IVF for pregnancy and the doc told them(for the male) not to drink. lowers sperm count
I’d like to hope so to Deon, they are smart fellas. But when they are surrounded by 40 deg temp. it may not be best for them. But you guys are probably right about the fast that there are worse things, like sitting. Perhaps overreacting.
I spoke to my brother in law over the weekend,he is a registered nurse. what was interesting was he thought you would have more chance in a hot bath of lowering your fertility.
