Heat Stress Linked to Hormonal Changes and Fertility Challenges in Men and Women

Rising temperatures and heat stress are affecting hormonal balance, menstrual cycles, and fertility in both women and men. Women may experience irregular or delayed periods, intensified premenstrual symptoms, and challenges with conception due to heat-induced hormonal disruptions. Experts note that heat stress can impair egg quality and implantation, increasing reliance on assisted reproductive techniques. In men, elevated temperatures may reduce sperm production by affecting testicular function. Lifestyle changes and sleep disturbances during heatwaves also contribute to these reproductive health impacts.
