There has been growing concern about the potential health effects of cell phone radiation, particularly on male genitalia due to the common practice of keeping phones in pockets near this area.
Studies have explored whether the radiofrequency energy emitted by cell phones can affect sperm quality.
Some research suggests a possible correlation between prolonged cell phone use and decreased sperm count, motility, and morphology, though results are not universally consistent.
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) sets guidelines for exposure limits, but the debate continues on whether these limits are sufficient given the close proximity of cell phones to the body.
While definitive links between cell phone radiation and male reproductive health are still under investigation, many experts recommend precautionary measures like using hands-free devices or keeping phones away from the body when not in use to minimize potential risks.
