摘要
Over the past few decades, the male population's fertility has decreased as demonstrated by an overall worsening of semen analysis parameters. Environmental variables are undoubtedly contributing elements. The technology that people rely on to enhance their quality of life and efficiency in many facets of daily life may also have pathologic consequences on the testicles and affect semen characteristics. Mobile phones and laptop computers are two frequently hypothesized sources of electromagnetic radiation and heat that can interfere with male fertility. These are two of the most widely utilized devices available today, and the majority of men use one or the other of them for the majority of their work.Understanding these consequences, as well as their possible influence and severity on male reproductive capacity, is the aim of this review of the medical literature. A thorough analysis of the most recent research in medicine, including original investigations, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, was carried out by searching PubMed for publications on the relationship between male fertility and laptops and cell phones. A definitive understanding of the impact remains elusive due to contradicting data in the medical literature, despite some studies suggesting a possible negative influence of laptop computers and cell phones on male fertility.Based on the available data in the medical literature, it is debatable whether laptop computers and cell phones have a negative effect on a man's fertility. Nevertheless, men who want to be cautious and rule out any potential factors that can affect fertility may decide to reduce or avoid these exposures.
