Cell Phones Could Affect Male Fertility

Cell Phones Could Affect Male Fertility

A new study claims that radio-frequency energy from cell phones decreased male fertility.

Do you talk hands-free on your cell phone and keep the handset in your pants pocket? If so, according to a new study, the electromagnetic waves could be decreasing your fertility.

Researchers at the Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic conducted the study among 361 men and found a correlation between extended cell phone use and semen quality, but will really only say it needs more research, according to Information Week.

Researchers Ashok Agarwal and Edmund Sabanegh noted:

"The study results were sufficiently dramatic to attract extensive media attention, but additional research is necessary."
