A recent research report by Hungarian scientists shows that frequent use of mobile phones may result in a maximum reduction of 30% in sperm production in men. However, some experts believe that the results of this study are still controversial. According to the Sunday Times on the 27th, researchers from the University of Seged in Hungary conducted a follow-up study on 221 men for over a year. Compared to men who do not use their phones much, men who frequently place their phones on their bodies or make frequent phone calls may have a maximum reduction of 30% in sperm count, and there are also abnormalities in the surviving sperm, further reducing male fertility.
Researchers report that men who do not keep their phones on their waist or in their pockets suffer the most when it comes to the impact of mobile phones on fertility. Researchers suggest that when men are not using their phones, it is best to keep them in a file bag and away from sensitive parts of the body. Unlike in the past, scientists conducting this study believe that even when the phone is in standby mode, it can cause damage to the human body. Because mobile phones in standby mode usually transmit signals to nearby radio towers to maintain contact. Previous studies have shown that mobile phones do not cause harm to humans in standby mode. Lawrence Chalis, a renowned physics professor at the University of Nottingham in the UK, believes in an interview with The Weekly Times that there are many studies on the harm of mobile phones to human health, but the results of these studies are highly controversial, making it difficult to reach a definitive conclusion.
