A study of over 350 men seen at their infertility clinic found an association between the patients’ cell phone use and their sperm quality.
On average, the more hours the men spent on their cell phones daily, the lower their sperm count, the lower their percentage of normal sperm, and the greater their proportion of abnormal sperm.
The study adds additional questions about the potential health effects of cell phones and other wireless devices. There has been concern for years that the electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the body from heavy cell phone use can cause brain tumors and other health issues. However, like many previous studies there is no definitive connection between cell phone use adverse health issues. There could be other factors that heavy cell phone users share, such as stress or poor diet, that are the true cause of the problem.
