Abstract: Cell phones have become a vital part of everyday life. However, the health risks associated with their usage are often overlooked. Recently, evidence from several studies supports a growing claim that cell phone usage may have a detrimental effect on sperm parameters leading to decreased male fertility. Nonetheless, other studies showed no conclusive link between male infertility and cell phone usage. The ambiguity of such results is attributed to the lack of a centralized assay for measuring inflicted damage … Show more

“…Changes on the macro-scale (morphology, motility, and count) as well as the micro-scale (protein kinase C, heat shock proteins and histone kinases) can be observed . [12] Cell phone radiation may cause structural and functional injuries of the testis, alteration of semen parameters, reduction of epididymal sperm concentration and decline of male fertility . [13] Leydig cells,seminiferous tubules and spermatozoa are the main target organs of the damage caused by mobile phones on the male reproductive system.…”

“…Many drugs like cyclophosphamide [103] and acetaminophen [3] are also found to increase the seminal ROS levels. Also electromagnetic radiations from cell phones especially when kept in trousers create oxidative stress in testis [104] which has yet to be confirmed in large population based studies which can determine the exact duration and use of cell phones which can adversely affect sperm function.…”

“…One of them is the electromagnetic radiation emitted by each device powered by electricity. Numerous studies, concerning the impact of electromagnetic radiation, prove its harmful effects on various organs and tissue function [1][2][3]. Studies of Mahdavi et al have reported that extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) may interact with the brain stress system [4].…”
