Can bike riding cause azoospermia of testicular origin?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 12/12/2018

Prolonged bike riding does not cause azoospermia, as long as you sit correctly while riding it. Moreover, you can use certain systems to protect your testicles.

Misusing the bicycle on a regular basis can increase the temperature of your scrotum, preventing sperm production and diminishing sperm quality.

It should be noted that too much vigorous exercise can affect sperm production aside from other body functions.
