Daily mobile phone use has a negative effect on sperm's ability to move, according to international research. The team analysed the quantity and health of sperm from 1634 men in China and compared these findings with self-reported mobile phone usage. They found that daily mobile phone use of two to four hours may affect sperm mobility, and recommend that men of reproductive age avoid prolonged durations of using mobile phones.
