infertility

The issue of fertility, or the lack thereof, has been in the news several times this week. Instead of detailing everything, I’m just going to give you a basic rundown of some of the bigger items I saw. To begin with, for those who didn’t know, chlamydia is one of those sexually transmitted diseases that can leave you sterile. So, if there is any chance that you may have contacted this disease, doctors recommend you get treated as soon as possible to safeguard your fertility. Secondly, if your man uses a laptop, be careful of overheating “the boys”. Belkin has developed a “cooling lounge” to place the laptop on so as not to raise the testicular temperature. If your man regularly uses the laptop, this could be a very smart gift for him — as soon as possible! One other item I wanted to mention deals with female fertility/infertility. Apparently, although many women try to lose weight in order to help their fertility, losing a lot of weight in a relatively short period of time is damaging to fertility. Yet another reason to diet sensibly and take off the weight a few pounds a week.
