Mobile phones may contribute to male infertility. A new study from South Korea found that mobile phone use resulted in lower sperm count and quality in men.
According to the analysis of 18 studies using sperm samples from more than 400 people, it was found that electromagnetic waves damage sperm. Kim Yun Hak of Busan National University, who supervised the study. says Dr. "Men should try to reduce the amount of time they spend on mobile phones to preserve sperm quality. Further research will be needed to examine the effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted by new models of mobile phones in today's digital environment." "
On the other hand, Alan Pacey, a sperm expert at the University of Sheffield in the UK, questions that conclusion. "Modern life isn't good for sperm, but it's questionable whether mobile phones are to blame. This study doesn't go far enough to clarify that debate, which has been going on for decades. "It's an unresolved issue, but if any man is worried about it, he should just keep his phone in his bag."
