People are given guidelines to make use of hands-free sets, shorter calls on mobile phones and let children to make only essential calls. This can help to limit exposure to electromagnetic energy. It is an important health concern to know if cell phone use can affect your sperm cell count and make you to suffer with brain cancer.

New York - Preliminary research suggests that spending many hours on a cell phone can affect the quality of a man’s sperm. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic found the changes due to cell phone use and the sperm quality in a study of 361 men. Lowest sperm counts found in men who talked more than 4 hours a day had - study says.

Men who spent more hours on their cell phones are found having the lower level of sperm count and the percentage of abnormal sperm has got increased. The research findings were published in the fertility and sterility journal. Adding to this research, some studies have also linked long-term cell phone use with higher risk of brain tumors. The electromagnetic energy from mobile phones could damage DNA.

“Our results show the association of cell phone use with decreased semen quality. We do not provide any possible cause and effect relationship,” said Dr. Agarwal, according to the Reuters Health.

All of the 361 men who came to their infertility clinic over one year were questioned about their cell phone habits. The researchers found, men who used cell phones for more than four hours a day had fewest viable sperm and their sperm quality got reduced as their use of cell phone hours increased.

“The prolonged use of cell phones may have negative effects on the sperm motility characteristics.” – says a research report from Andrology Unit, University of Szeged, Hungry.

Is cell phone use associated with cancer?

Three types of brain cancers such as glioma, meningioma and pituitary adenoma were considered by Yamaguchi, scientific researcher from the Tokyo Women’s Medical University. These three cancers comprise about 85 percent of all brain tumors.

“We can find no evidence to support fears that using a mobile phone boosts the risk of cerebral cancer.” - A report by Japanese scientists about brain tumors.

“We studied the radiation of mobile phones and placed them into four categories according to the strength of radiation, then analyzed if they could affect the brain, taking into account of the organ’s complex structure,” said Yamaguchi. “Using our accurate techniques, we did not find any association between mobile phone use and cancer. So, cell phone use doesn’t cause brain cancer.” He added.
