According to a recent report by the BBC, the International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) under the World Health Organization (WHO) has claimed that mobile phones are "potentially carcinogenic". A new study warns that frequent use of mobile phones can indeed reduce male fertility. According to foreign media reports on June 21st, a new study in Canada has found that frequent use of mobile phones (including non talking) can lead to a 30% decrease in male fertility.
The new study, conducted by researchers at Queen's University in Canada, shows that long-term use of mobile phones or exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones can reduce the quality and number of sperm in men. Researchers say using mobile phones can accelerate the circulation of testosterone in men, but it can also lead to a decline in quality indicators such as sperm motility and concentration, thereby reducing male fertility.
Researchers believe that even when a mobile phone is in standby mode, it can cause damage because it sends out signals to maintain contact with the nearest signal station. Therefore, when not using a mobile phone, it is best for men not to hang it on their belts or put it in their pants pockets.
The head and fertility consultant of the Isis Fertility Clinic in Delhi, India, Siwani Sachidewi Gore, said that as many as 30 infertile couples come to her clinic every month for medical treatment, of which about 35% to 40% of cases, infertility is a male problem, and the culprit is the hand machine. Most of the time, people don't know anything about it. Many hypotheses assume that male infertility is caused by environmental toxins.
The British government has recommended that people, when using mobile phones, should try to send text messages or use hands-free mode to minimize the negative impact of mobile phone radiation.
