Recommendations include avoiding outdoor activities on extremely hot days, refraining from saunas, hot baths, and tight underwear during this period
SINGAPORE: Recent findings from a project led by the National University of Singapore have uncovered significant correlations between punishing hot weather and adverse effects on couples’ fertility and birth outcomes.
The study, which analyzed sperm samples from 818 men stored at the National University Hospital’s andrology section, revealed startling implications of exposure to extreme heat. The study also examined the birth records of over 31,000 women, revealing that pregnant women tend to adopt protective measures, such as increasing air conditioning, to mitigate heat exposure.
Beyond its impact on fertility and birth outcomes, Project HeatSafe also addressed heat strain risks among outdoor workers, particularly construction workers.
