Excessive heat, such as from saunas or hot tubs, has been linked to impaired fertility in males because it can damage the sperm-producing cells in the testicles. Females are less affected by heat in the reproductive area because their eggs are produced in the ovaries, which are located outside the body cavity and maintain a lower temperature.
