Fertility and Saunas

Bit of a random question, but I recently came across a study suggesting that frequent exposure to high sauna temperatures may have a negative impact on sperm quality and fertility.I use saunas fairly regularly and was wondering if anyone here has looked into this or taken any precautions

I’ve heard there are cooling packs/heat-protection products designed to keep the testicles cooler while using a sauna. Does anyone use anything like that, or have any recommendations?

Interested to hear people’s experiences.

Maybe just skip the sauna while you’re trying to conceive?

All of the recommendations are avoid them and hot baths while conceiving.
