There is hardly anyone in today's time who does not use a mobile phone. We have become dependent on mobile phones for many of our daily needs. While mobile phones have made life very easy, experts have also been alerting about many health problems caused by them.
Excessive use of mobile phones is harmful to both physical and mental health. Especially studies of blue light and radiation emitted from it have shown many side effects.
Is excessive use of mobile phones also increasing fertility problems? This question often remains in people's minds. Many reports also suggest that radiation emitted from mobile phones can harm sperm quality. Is mobile so dangerous? Let's understand about this.
Are mobile phones reducing fertility?
Reports of studies show that in the last half-century, cases like male fertility, and a decrease in sperm count have increased. Experts consider many environmental and lifestyle factors responsible for this. Some researchers believe that male fertility can also be affected due to mobile phones emitting low-level radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.
Studies conducted on Swiss people show that with the increasing use of mobile phones, the concentration and number of sperm have decreased.
A recent study denies these connections.
However, other studies related to this deny these facts.
Recently a team of scientists investigated the risk of brain cancer from mobiles. In which it was found that even though the use of mobiles is harmful in many cases, it does not cause the risk of brain cancer. The team of experts also tried to know whether the waves emitted from the mobile affect sperm quality.
Professor Ken Karipidis, an expert in the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, says, no connection has been found between the phone and the decline in the number of sperms. Problems with high birth weight of the baby have been reported in some women with high exposure to radio waves.
Is keeping the phone in your pant pocket dangerous?
There has also been a discussion about mobile phones that keeping the phone in the pant pocket (closer to the genitals) affects fertility. Another study found that there is no relationship between keeping the phone in a pant pocket and a reduction in semen quality.
Experts say that more detailed research is needed to clarify the relationship between the effect of mobile on fertility.
What is the conclusion?
Health experts say that the results so far have been quite mixed. Some studies believe that mobile phones affect reproductive health while some deny it. However, from a protective point of view, minimal use of mobile is safe. Mobiles increase your physical inactivity, which is considered to be a major reason for reproductive disorders. Therefore, reducing the time spent on mobile daily can be beneficial for overall health.
