View Original AbstractThis fertility clinic study found no link between self-reported phone use and sperm quality, but contradicts multiple other studies showing EMF effects on male fertility.
Plain English Summary
Researchers studied 153 men at a fertility clinic to see if mobile phone use affected sperm quality. They found no connection between how much men used their phones, where they carried them, or whether they used headsets and their semen parameters. This adds to the mixed evidence about whether cell phones impact male fertility.

The aim of this study is to investigate Self-reported mobile phone use and semen parameters among men from a fertility clinic.
The relationship between mobile phone use patterns and markers of semen quality was explored in a lo...
Overall, there was no evidence for a relationship between mobile phone use and semen quality.
