Put Down that Cell Phone if You're Looking to Have Baby


Cleveland Clinic has been doing research to look at how cell phone use may affect fertility. The conclusion: high cell phone use in males may lead to decreased sperm count, as well as a higher percentage of "abnormal" sperm.

Now, not only do we have to look at mobile phone reviews, but we have to pay attention to every new bit of health news that is coming out for cell phones. It seems like new alerts are coming out constantly.

"Our results show a strong association of cell phone use with decreased semen quality. However, they do not prove a cause-and-effect relationship," lead researcher Dr. Ashok Agarwal told Reuters.

Radiation emitted by handsets may be the cause of the damage.

"There was a significant decrease in the most important measures of sperm health with cell phone use and that should definitely be reflected in a decrease in fertility" added Agarwal.
