Wireless Internet is an essential part of many people’s lives. But an Argentinean study shows that this everyday helper may be the “mastermind” behind the killing of human fertility. The study was published by the latest issue of the American “Fertility and Sterility” (Fertility and Sterility) monthly. Researchers at the Nasetis Center for Reproductive Medicine in Cordoba, Argentina, designed an experiment. The researchers took semen samples from 29 healthy men and split them into two, placing one under a laptop computer that was downloading files using a wireless network and another away from the laptop. After four hours, the researchers looked at the sperm activity in the semen samples. They found that a quarter of the semen samples placed under the laptop no longer swam, and 9 percent showed DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) damage. At the same temperature, only 14 percent of the semen samples placed away from the laptop stopped moving and 3 percent showed DNA damage. The study leader, Conrado Aventagno, said that the damage was caused by the presence of the sperm. Arvindanio said that the “culprit” for this situation is the electromagnetic radiation generated by wireless communication. Reuters reported on November 28, citing his words in the study: “Our data show that the laptop is connected to the wireless network in the vicinity of the male reproductive organs, will reduce sperm quality.” He said, “It is currently unclear whether all brands of laptops have this effect when connected to wireless networks, and it is not known what kind of use will make the effect deepen further.” The researchers tested the amount of electromagnetic radiation from laptops that were turned on but not connected to a wireless network separately and found it to be negligible. Previous studies have also confirmed that the electromagnetic radiation from cell phones is also detrimental to sperm quality, in addition, men who use laptops on their laps for long periods of time will increase the temperature of the scrotum, which is harmful to sperm. The head of the American Association of Male Reproductive and Urological Robert? Oates does not agree with the results of the study by Argentine researchers. In his opinion, laptops do not have a significant impact on male fertility. ”This is not realistic biology …… The study is somewhat interesting from a scientific point of view, but there is no utility in human biology,” Oates said. Statistics from the American Urological Association show that one in six American married women currently have difficulty conceiving, with each gender accounting for half of the causes. An article published earlier this year in the monthly Fertility and Sterility magazine said that among couples receiving fertility treatment, men who ate a lot of fruits and grains, less red meat and less coffee and alcohol were more likely to conceive their wives. Oates agrees, talking about how to improve the chances of pregnancy, saying, “You have to keep your body healthy, eat healthy foods, exercise more, and don’t take drugs or smoke.”
