Abstract

Overview

Mobile phones are integral in modern life, yet the radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) they emit has raised health concerns regarding male reproductive health. This cross-sectional study investigates the impact of mobile phone radiation on semen parameters among 1634 participants at Zhejiang University's Department of Reproductive Endocrinology.

Findings

• Statistical analysis shows significant differences in sperm motility related to daily mobile phone usage and call duration.
• Observations suggest a negative correlation between the duration of mobile phone usage and sperm motility even after adjusting for age and body mass index.

Conclusion

The study indicates that prolonged daily use of mobile phones may adversely affect sperm motility, suggesting potential risks to male fertility. Recommendations include limiting mobile phone usage for men of reproductive age. Future studies are urged to further explore and confirm these findings.
