View Original AbstractOne month of cell phone use showed no PSA changes in 20 men, but this brief study can't assess long-term prostate health risks.
Plain English Summary
Turkish researchers studied 20 men who had never used cell phones before, measuring their PSA levels (a protein that can indicate prostate problems) before and after 30 days of cell phone use. They found no significant changes in PSA levels after one month of phone use. However, the researchers noted that longer-term studies are needed to fully understand any potential effects on prostate health.
Study Details
The increasing use of cellular telephones is known to have harmful effects on human health. The aim of this prospective study was to determine whether cellular telephone use affected serum PSA levels in men.
Participants included 20 men with ages ranging from 22 to 65 years who had never previously used cel...
Average free and total PSA values were 2.070 ng/ml and 0.500 ng/ml before the study, and 2.0 ng/ml ...
The results indicate that cellular telephone use does not significantly affect PSA values in the short term. Nevertheless, we think that there is a need for longer-term studies on this subject.
