Cell Phone Use Lowers Male Sperm Count, Fertility

This causes men to lose fertility which can harm them if they want to try to have a baby.

The study has been published in the January 2008 issue of the Fertility and Sterility journal.

Researchers have found that sperm counts and quality in men are inversely proportional to cell phone usage.

This means that the more men used a cell phone, the lower their sperm count and quality was.

The study stated that men who use cell phones for more than four hours per day had the lowest sperm count and fewest visible sperm.

Men who used cell phones for only a few minutes a day had a much higher sperm count than men who used it for a few hours or more.

Dr. Ashok Agarwal told Reuters “Our results show a strong association of cell phone use with decreased semen quality. However, they do not provide a cause-and-effect relationship.”

He stated that they saw a “significant decrease in the most important measures of sperm health with cell phone use and that should definitely be reflected in a decrease in fertility.”
