BACKGROUND
Scrotal temperatures in men have been reported to be either similar on both sides or higher on the left than the right scrotum. [] Key Method In Experiment I, eight men have been submitted to four successive body positions for 15 min each, first naked then clothed. Experiment II involved 11 postal employees working in a standing position for 90 min continuously. Experiment III involved 11 bus drivers and a 90 min period of continuous driving.

The history and the progress of the experimental and clinical works of teams who addressed hormonal, chemical and thermal approaches to male contraception have led to a better comprehension of spermatogenesis that could be useful in fields other than male contraception: effects of toxic compounds, fertility preservation.

Study results confirm that understanding about male reproductive function and the environmental factors that affect it is insufficient and provide education to infertile men by doctors in charge about potential risk factors that may affect fertility and not just provide treatment because simple changes in lifestyle can improve fertility.

Spermatogenesis is highly dependent on scrotal temperature. In the testis, germ cells but not somatic cells are vulnerable to heat stress. In response to heat stress, germ cells undergo apoptosis,…

It is suggested that wearing tight fitting undertrousers is associated with higher scrotal and consequently testicular temperatures than wearing loose fitting undertroughers or none.

Paraplegic men in wheelchairs have deep scrotal temperatures averaging about 0.9 degrees C higher than normal sitting men, and those whose scrotAL temperatures are very high usually lack motile spermatozoa, so means of lowering paraplegic deep sc rotational temperatures can be designed.

The is ambiguous in that it is sometimes assumed to be based on an embryological explanation, i.e. that theleft testis descends in advance of the or that the left spermatic cord is longer because of the association of the left testis with the more cranially situated left kidney.
