MAYWOOD, Ill. (UPI) -- Men who aspire to fatherhood may need to start
changing how they use laptops, a U.S. reproductive specialist warns.
Dr. Suzanne Kavic of the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of
Medicine in Maywood, Ill., near Chicago, says excessive laptop use has
been linked to male infertility.
"Laptops are becoming increasingly common among young men wired into
to the latest technology," Kavic says in statement. "However, the heat
generated from laptops can impact sperm production and development
making it difficult to conceive down the road."
Kavic -- director of the division of reproductive endocrinology at the
Loyola University Health Systems and an associate professor in the
department of obstetrics and gynecology and department of medicine at
the School of Medicine -- recommends placing laptops on desktops to
prevent damaging sperm and decreasing counts and motility.
Sperm quality and quantity as well as sperm motility -- movement --
are key to male fertility, Kavic says.
