Is there a relationship between cell phone use and semen quality
TLDR
The prolonged use of cell phones may have negative effects on the sperm motility characteristics, and the duration of possession and the daily transmission time correlated negatively and positively with the proportion of rapid progressive motile sperm.Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine a possible relationship between regular cell phone use and different human semen attributes. The history-taking of men in our university clinic was supplemente...read more

Effect of cell phone usage on semen analysis in men attending infertility clinic: an observational study
TL;DR: Use of cell phones decrease the semen quality in men by decreasing the sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology.

Mobile phone radiation induces reactive oxygen species production and dna damage in human spermatozoa in vitro
TL;DR: RF-EMR in both the power density and frequency range of mobile phones enhances mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation by human spermatozoa, decreasing the motility and vitality of these cells while stimulating DNA base adduct formation and, ultimately DNA fragmentation.

Origins and consequences of DNA damage in male germ cells
TL;DR: Resolving the precise nature of the DNA lesions present in the spermatozoa of infertile men will be an important step towards uncovering the aetiology of this damage and developing strategies for its clinical management.

TL;DR: Radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones may lead to oxidative stress in human semen and speculate that keeping the cell phone in a trouser pocket in talk mode may negatively affect spermatozoa and impair male fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm DNA damage caused by oxidative stress: modifiable clinical, lifestyle and nutritional factors in male infertility.
TL;DR: DNA fragmentation is an important factor in the aetiology of male infertility, however it is still underevaluated and its inclusion in routine semen analysis is debated, and sources of oxidative stress should be thoroughly examined in men with high levels of DNA fragmentation and modified where possible.

Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)
TL;DR: The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)—was established as a successor to the IRPA/INIRC, which developed a number of health criteria documents on NIR as part of WHO’s Environmental Health Criteria Programme, sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Detection of deoxyribonucleic acid fragmentation in human sperm: correlation with fertilization in vitro.
TL;DR: Since extremely poor semen samples are the indication for intracytoplasmic sperm injection, there is a high likelihood that sperm with fragmented DNA may be selected by chance and used for oocyte injection, resulting in poor fertilization and/or cleavage rates.

TL;DR: No significant difference was observed between the effects of the two forms of radiation, and it is speculated that these effects could result from a direct effect of radiofrequency electromagnetic energy on DNA molecules and/or impairment of DNA-damage repair mechanisms in brain cells.
