In a study released by the prestigious Cleveland Clinic results show a link between poor sperm production and the number of hours a day a man uses his cell phone. Men who use a cell phone more than four hours a day had the worst sperm counts and the poorest quality of sperm. Doctors believe the damage may be caused by radiation emitted by the phone. Men who used a cell phone more than four hours a day had sperm counts that were 25 percent lower than men who never used a cell phone. Sperm quality was also affected.

The swimming ability of the sperm was reduced significantly. Furthermore, 50 percent drop in the number of properly formed sperm was noted. Sperm count, motility,viability and appearance all were significantly affected. Cells in testes to be shown to be susceptible to electromagnetic radiation in previous research on animals.

Hence, it is not advisable for men to carry cell phone on a belt clip or in a pocket close to the body. Neither should they work on a laptop computer while it sits on the lap.
