"A new study warned against the use of a wireless laptop near the male reproductive organs."
The digital age could lead to certain problems for men if they are certain the latest scientific findings on semen, laptops and wireless Internet.
In a study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, a team of researchers from Argentina described the results have exposed a few drops of semen from 29 healthy men under Internet laptops connected by
Wi-Fi (or wireless) and click "download".
At four hours, the semen was completely altered. A quarter of the sperm sample had no movement, compared with 14 percent of the samples stored at the same temperature but away from the computer. In addition, 9 percent sperm DNA damage was three times that samples "control".
Why? Because electromagnetic radiation for wireless communication, team says Conrado Avendano, of Nascentis Reproductive Medicine, Cordoba, Argentina."Our data suggest that the use of a laptop connected wirelessly to the Internet about the male reproductive organs reduced human semen quality, “the team writes.
"For now, do not know if this effect occurs with all laptops connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi or what conditions of use would increase this effect, "they said. Another test with a laptop on but not connected wirelessly revealed radiation levels nearly imperceptible.
These findings add to concerns that other teams had already raised. A year ago, a team of urologists described how to sit with a laptop on your knees can raise scrotal temperatures to levels harmful to sperm.
So, between heat and radiation-emitting electronic devices today, the testicles would be in trouble. But none of that is proven, according to Dr. Robert Oates said that having two children achieved despite using a laptop and iPad.
The president of the Society for Male Reproduction and Urology told Reuters Health that he is not convinced that the notebooks are a major threat to male reproductive health.
As it seems true yet most of kids are now addicted to online gaming these days and to my knowledge they are always found having their Laptops near their pants and siting in lying posture. As in Picture it is now a dangerous posture to use at ease also the human reproductive system is temperature sensitive meanings if suppose sperms are exposed to external atmosphere they eventually get killed so the sperm sacs keep them at nominal temperature. Thus maintaining the reproductive power of human body preserved for any harsh conditions.
Human males usualy have observed their testis sacs squeezed in automatically in winter or cold environment while they use to hang in lower temperature atmosphere, as funny as it sound but please do not bother you sense of humor to lose the main point. That is biological evidence by the standard books of medical science e.g. Gray’s Anatomy, Human Physiology, and my favorite Guyton physiology. (Text Book for Medical Students)
"We're not talking about real biology, but an artificial environment. It is scientifically interesting, but do not consider it important for human biology, "Oates said the new study. According to the American Urological Association, nearly one in six U.S. couples cannot conceive, in half the cases the man is the cause of the problem.
For the authors, although it is still unknown effects of modern technology, lifestyle remains key point of contention.
