Excessive Cellphone Use and Low Sperm Count

To this day and age, mobility is a very important necessity. Because of a very fast-pace life everyone is trying to live now, being able to do things while on the move has been a number commodity today. That is why telecommunication has also been a big industry at the present. And cellular phones has become one of the most important gadget every people should have. You can say that cellphones have been kinda like food, that they are a must-have item.

However, a recent study conducted in New York suggests that excessive cellphone usage may affect the quality of man's sperm. In the said study involving 361 men who regularly visit infertility clinics, an association between their sperm quality and cellphone use has been found. On the average, the longer men spent on their mobile phones, the lower the sperm count is and the greater their percentage of abnormal sperm.

The initial findings of this study add to questions about the potential health effects of cellular phones and other wireless devices. It has been known that past studied that have been done have linked longer cellphone use to a higher risk of brain tumors.

However, the findings that came up from this study are not conclusive. Further studies that will be done is the future mat either further prove this hypothesis or disprove it completely. As of now, the inference just states that heavy cellphone use is associated with a lower semen quality. But this does not mean that cellphones directly affect men's fertility.
