Wi-Fi Killer Sperm?
Laptops affect male fertility. Or rather, the heat they emit can affect the quality of sperm and fertility, especially when regular and prolonged use. The reason for the bad news stems from the increase in testicular temperature of 2.5 degrees after half an hour of computer use on the lap while the average testicular temperature must be between 33 ° C and 34 ° C. This is known as scrotal hyperthermia ( PDF ). A study published by the scientific site New Scientist was already in the state in 2004.
But it seems that there is another problem. A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, and taken up by the Telegraph , has sought to observe, by placing the semen samples in computers that are not connected and connected to the wireless Internet behavior. Result: If the heat is harmful to sperm, the electromagnetic radiation produced by the Wi-Fi is even more damaging. They affect both the mobility and the genetic code of the sperm.
” Our data suggest that the use of a laptop connected to wireless internet and positioned close to the male reproductive organs can reduce human semen quality , “observes Dr. Conrado Avendano, in charge of the study led by a center team Nascentes for Reproductive Medicine in Cordoba, Argentina, and the Medical School of Virginia. However, “at the moment, we do not know if this effect is induced by all computers connected to Wi-Fi or what terms and conditions intensify this effect , “the D r Avendano.
To reach its conclusions, the research team conducted tests on samples from 29 healthy men, aged 26 to 45 years. 25% of sperm under a computer connected to Wi-Fi for four hours had stopped moving, while 9% had seen their damaged DNA. Figures that pass 14% and 3% of the samples removed from the Wi-Fi
It remains to repeat these tests with real men and real computers placed on their knees in order to confirm this finding could have a significant impact on male fertility curve, in view of the ever increasing use of technologies with wireless Internet.
