Prolonged cell phone use increases sperm malformation rate Domestic and foreign experts found through research that men who use electronic devices for a long time have a significantly higher sperm malformation rate. The survey showed that the sperm malformation rate was closely related to the length of cell phone use per day and the number of years of cell phone use; extended cell phone use increased the number of malformed sperm in semen and reduced the proportion of sperm moving directly toward the front. As for whether 10 hours of cell phone use per day will lead to severe sperm malformation and cause infertility, there is a lack of research in this area. How much does sperm malformation affect fertility Studies have found that the rate of sperm binding to zona pellucida is significantly lower in patients with malformed spermatozoa. In conclusion, sperm morphology is closely related to sperm function, and any defect in sperm morphology will lead to a decrease in its function and affect male fertility. Of course, the presence of malformed sperm does not equate to having malformed spermatozoa and will not necessarily affect fertility. Even in men with normal fertility, the rate of normal sperm morphology is only above 4%. According to the World Health Organization’s criteria, teratozoospermia is diagnosed when the normal form sperm rate is <4%. Other bad habits should also be alert to the worthy reminder The factors that cause sperm malformation are often multifaceted, not a single cause of electronic device radiation, the following factors should also be concerned and try to avoid. 1, long-term alcohol consumption. Long-term alcohol consumption can damage the spermatogenic function of the testes, directly causing an increase in various kinds of deformed sperm. 2, smoking. Cigarettes contain a large number of harmful substances such as nicotine, coronidine, carbon monoxide, cadmium, lead, etc. These harmful substances can affect the male testicular germ cells and have the effect of inhibiting the secretion of sex hormones and killing sperm. 3, testicular temperature is too high. The most suitable temperature for sperm survival in the testicles is 35 to 36 degrees Celsius, which is 2 degrees Celsius lower compared to the normal temperature of the human body surface. Bad habits such as sitting for a long time, sauna, and wearing tight pants often lead to high local temperature of the testicles. High testicular temperature will cause changes in microcirculation within the testes, causing spermatogenic epithelial damage and spermatogenic cell shedding, resulting in a decrease in testicular spermatogenic capacity and the death of a large number of sperm, while possibly causing changes in sperm morphology and an increase in the malformation rate. 4, long-term drinking carbonated beverages. Domestic experts with carbonated beverages to adult male mice gavage for 28 days, found that the number of mice sperm decreased and sperm deformity rate increased, indicating that carbonated beverages have a certain spermicidal effect, the mechanism of action still needs further in-depth study. Foreign research also shows that long-term drinking carbonated beverages is not conducive to sperm health. 5, other factors. Eating contaminated seafood can increase the mercury and lead content in human blood, which can lead to sperm malformation; spicy food, sperm malformation rate may increase.
