  1. Maintaining Testicular Temperature

Excessive heat in the testicles can affect their function, which includes disrupting sperm production. You wouldn’t want that to happen, right? Therefore, it’s essential to maintain the temperature of the testicles by wearing loose clothing or underwear to keep them cool.

  1. Avoid Hot Baths or Saunas

Another way to care for and protect the testicles is to avoid taking hot baths or using saunas. These habits can increase the testicular temperature, which can affect sperm production.

  1. Prevent Impact

Did you know that testicles are quite sensitive and prone to injury? Therefore, avoid activities that increase the risk of injury, such as extreme sports. You can also use a jockstrap to protect your testicles during physical activities.

  1. Consume a Healthy Diet

Caring for testicles can also be done by consuming a healthy diet. Meet your carbohydrate, protein, and nutrient needs with vegetables and fruits. Don’t forget to consume lean meat to ensure your nutritional needs are met.

It’s advisable to avoid consuming food and drinks containing alcohol or smoking. Both of these can risk reducing sperm production and quality.

  1. Regular Intercourse

Having regular intercourse with a partner can help maintain regular erections. Especially if this is done without contraception during the fertile period, it can increase the chances of pregnancy. Regular ejaculation can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Remember to avoid having multiple sexual partners and regularly check your reproductive organs.

That’s an explanation of how to maintain and care for the testicles that can be easily done independently. However, if you experience unusual symptoms in the testicular area that persist, consult a doctor.
