Mobile phones in trouser pockets will kill sperm and affect fertility!
When I first saw this rumor, my heart was suspicious.
However, after searching the relevant research, I didn’t expect that some scientists have actually studied the relationship between cell phone radiation and sperm reduction.
Is mobile phone really so dangerous? Can you still happily read Dr. Clove’s article on your mobile phone?
This time, let’s talk about whether the mobile phone should carry this pot or not.
Mobile phones with nowhere to put them
In recent decades, the quality of male semen has shown an obvious downward trend.
At this time, some researchers jumped out and said, we found that mobile phone radiation will affect sperm quality! The cell phone in the trouser pocket is only separated from the balls by a crotch, which may affect fertility. Sperm killing! You can’t put your cell phone in your pocket any more!
Mobile phone: whaaaat? (Black Question Mark Face)
Is the experiment of cell phone radiation affecting sperm quality reliable?
As mentioned earlier, there are indeed mobile phone radiant energy [spermicidal] found in research, but how did it come out? Next, let’s divide (TU) and analyze (CAO) the scientific nature of these studies.
At present, the research on mobile phone radiation [spermicidal] is mainly divided into three categories:
1. In vitro or in vitro experiments
Human or animal semen is extracted and placed in different radiation environments, and then the effect of mobile phone radiation on human sperm is evaluated.
Wait, why does something seem wrong? Sperm directly exposed to the outside of the body has lost the protection of its balls. Its living environment is far from that of the human body. It will not last long. If you happen to be a medical major, you can also look at the original text of these studies. It is also worth thinking about the source of sperm in the experiment and whether the operations of sperm collection, preservation and processing are appropriate.
2. Animal experiments
To observe the effect of mobile phone radiation on testicular and sperm functions in animals.
There are differences in the structure between human beings and animals, and the development and maturity time of animal sperm is also different from that of human beings. Moreover, can the radiation level in these experiments really effectively simulate the real situation of human life?
3. Population studies
In short, it is to classify melon eaters in a certain area according to factors such as the frequency and time of their use of mobile phones, and then study whether the semen quality of different categories of people is different.
Then the question arises, how to divide the frequency of mobile phone use? Is it high frequency or 12 hours a day? In fact, most studies have different classification criteria. The other is the selection of samples. Only in this way can how select suitable melon eaters? The vast majority of existing studies have selected infertile patients or suspected infertile patients who come to the hospital for treatment as the object, lacking control.
Can’t mobile phones really be put in your pocket?
In fact, there is no definite conclusion that the decline of male reproductive function and semen quality is related to the use of mobile phones.
- In the survey of whether the use of mobile phones affects semen quality, Researchers found no correlation between the amount of semen and cell phone use. In another study involving 304 healthy men, Researchers found that, There was no significant difference in sperm count between men who did not use mobile phones and men who used mobile phones for 1-2 years and more than 2 years. However, the proportion of men who do not use mobile phones who have normal sperm motility is higher than that of men who use mobile phones frequently. Another study pointed out that one hour of RF 900MHz low frequency radiation did not affect the sperm motility of healthy men. Other animal experiments showed that mobile phone radiation did not have a significant effect on sperm morphology.
So you probably also found that researchers are also very hard at writing papers, and what research has been designed…
However, some media, don’t want to enlarge the satellite just because you can speak English, and translate these studies into [mobile phones can kill sperm in your pocket]. Can you be responsible for what happens?
What we really have to worry about is not the radiation from mobile phones.
If the semen quality drops, let the mobile phone go to [carry the pot]?
What really needs attention is these factors that have been identified to affect the quality of male semen:
1. Pollution environment and high temperature environment
Long-term exposure to polluted air, heavy metals and noise can lead to a decline in sperm motility. High temperature environment, such as boiler room, sauna bath, bath bath, tight pants, etc., can also inhibit sperm production.
2. Bad living habits
Smoking, drinking and drug abuse may cause testicular atrophy, semen reduction, sperm motility reduction, malformation rate increase, etc.
3. Being underweight and overweight
Obesity easily leads to endocrine disorders, increases the risks of hypertension and diabetes, and increases the probability of sperm damage. Being underweight may lead to lower quality and quantity of male semen.
4. Stress and anxiety
Long-term stress and high pressure will affect endocrine and sperm.
5. Diseases of the reproductive system
Among the male infertile population, about 20% ~ 60% suffer from reproductive tract infection. Varicocele, cryptorchidism, congenital testicular dysplasia, etc. will also greatly increase the probability of male infertility.
Compared with the factors listed above, the mobile phone in the pocket is not so worrying, and it can still be used.
Of course, if it is the kind of mobile phone that will explode in situ and [eggs] destroy people, when I didn’t say so.
