Men should never surf the internet for more than 5 hours a day, otherwise the consequences will be serious

Many people know that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation has health effects. Especially if you prefer to work with your laptop directly on your knee, it is even worse for men's health.

However, laboratory research in this area is rarely reported.

Experts have pointed out that the testicle is one of the target organs sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, and long-term exposure to computer radiation does have an impact on the fertilization function of male sperm.

Rat experiment: 48 rats were placed on a laptop computer, and the sperm appearance was good, but the internal structure was damaged

Beginning in March 2011, Professor Shang Xuejun, an expert in andrology at the General Hospital of the Nanjing Military Region, conducted a grouping experiment on 48 rats. Each group of 8 rats was divided into 6 groups, and radiation experiments were conducted on rats for 2 hours and 4 hours per day, respectively.

Eight rats were kept in transparent cages placed on notebooks, just above the keyboard.

Professor Shang discovered during his experiment that electromagnetic radiation has a potential damaging effect on the reproductive function of male mice. The degree of sperm damage is proportional to the time spent using a laptop.

Sperm damage in rats exposed to radiation for 4 hours a day is more severe than in rats exposed to radiation for 2 hours a day.

This is all due to ultrastructural damage, which means that the appearance of the sperm is fine, but the internal structure has been damaged. Experts have found that electromagnetic radiation can even damage sperm membranes.

Lipoprotein and glycoprotein on the surface of sperm membrane are the main substances for realizing sperm function.

In addition, the longer the radiation time of the notebook, the greater the impact on DNA. "It will also directly reflect the impact on the quality and development of the fetus after the sperm and egg are combined and fertilized in the future, increasing the health risk of the fetus after birth.".

The occurrence of fetal arrest during pregnancy is not excluded. However, this still needs further confirmation.

Of course, due to the small sample size of this experiment, the research results have certain limitations. Professor Shang said that there are still differences between animals and humans.

This study is only an exploratory study of the effects of electromagnetic radiation from laptops placed on the legs on the fertilization ability of male sperm. The results preliminarily show that electromagnetic radiation from laptops can affect the fertilization function of male sperm.

This will provide basic research data for the protection of computer electromagnetic radiation.
