for sperm counts to recover after three months of regular saunas
Regular saunas lower sperm counts, and the drop reverses.

Every measured change had reversed six months after they stopped.Source 1 · Clinical trialSeminal and molecular evidence that sauna exposure affects human spermatogenesisGarolla A, Torino M, Sartini B, et al..
