Keep your Mobile phones out of your pocket


We are living in the era of high end smart phones. There is a considerable amount of time that people spend on their phones instead of doing anything else. But many people does not know that men who carry their mobile phone in their pocket could be involuntarily destroying their sperm. 

Yes, you heard it right keeping mobile phones in your trouser’s or jeans pocket could hamper your fertility especially in men. There is also a study done in Israel where the researchers has found that almost half of the men (47%) who kept their phones in their front trouser pocket had low sperm levels, compared to 11% of the general population. The study also revealed that men who chatted on the phone for more than an hour each day were twice as likely to have low sperm quality as those who spoke on their mobile for less than one hour per day. 

Not only keeping the mobile phones in pants but speaking on the phone while charging is also linked to lower sperm counts. If your sperm levels are
down to a number then it would make conception difficult. If you are trying for a baby and it doesn’t happen within a year then you might want to think of whether it could be your mobile phone habit that is to blame.  

Actually thermal effects could increase the temperature of testes since mobile phones are carried in trouser pockets. Age, smoking and other lifestyle factors also need to be taken into account 

Consider the following and keep your mobile phones at bay
  • If you wear a suit to work put the mobile in your chest pocket instead of putting it near your crotch area. It will reduce the risk of your sperm count dropping. 
  • Also do not keep the phone right next to you on the bedside table 
  • Do not speak over phone while putting it on charging mode
