New research suggests that using mobile phones may be linked to a lower sperm concentration and total sperm count. However, no association was found between phone use and low sperm motility and morphology.
Research ers have linked the use of mobile phones to a lower sperm concentration and total sperm count
Various environmental and lifestyle factors have been proposed to explain the decline in semen quality observed over the last 50 years, but the role of electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones has yet to be demonstrated. According to the study, this difference corresponds to a 21% decrease in sperm concentration for frequent users, those who used the devices more than 20 times a day, compared to rare users, those who used their phone less than once, or once a day.
Additionally, the likelihood of pregnancy will decrease if the sperm concentration is below 40 million per millilitre. Rita Rahban is a senior researcher and teaching assistant in the Department of Genetic Medicine and Development in the Faculty of Medicine at the UNIGE and at the Swiss Centre for Applied Human Toxicology and is also the first author and co-leader of the study.
The men in the study completed a detailed questionnaire related to their lifestyle habits, their general health status, the frequency at which they used their phones, as well as where they placed them when not in use.Professor Alison Campbell, chief scientific officer of the Care Fertility Group said: “This is a fascinating and novel study which should not cause alarm or drastic changes in habits.
