Shocking: Computer radiation causes male infertility

　　Experts point out that testicles are one of the target organs sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, and long-term exposure to computer radiation is indeed harmful to male sperm The fertilization function will be affected.

　　rat experiment

　　Rat experiment: 48 rats were placed on a laptop. The appearance of the sperm was fine, but the internal structure was damaged.

　　During the experiment, it was found that electromagnetic radiation has potential damaging effects on the reproductive function of male mice. The degree of sperm damage is directly proportional to the time spent using a laptop. The sperm of rats exposed to 4 hours of radiation a day suffered more serious damage than the sperm of rats exposed to 2 hours of radiation a day.

　　These are all ultrastructural injuries, that is, the sperm looks fine on the outside, but the internal structure has been damaged. Experts have found that electromagnetic radiation can even damage sperm membranes. The lipoproteins and glycoproteins on the surface of the sperm membrane are the main substances that enable sperm functions to be realized.

　　In addition, the longer the laptop radiates, the greater the impact on DNA. And it will also directly manifest in the future after the sperm and egg are combined and fertilized. fetus affect the quality and development of the fetus after birth healthy Risks increase. Fetal arrest during pregnancy cannot be ruled out. However, this needs further confirmation.

　　Of course, due to the small sample size of this experiment, the research results have certain limitations. Professor Shang said that there are differences between animals and humans.

　　They are divided into three groups according to the length of time they use the computer. Those who surf the Internet for more than 5 hours a day have decreased fertilization function.

　　Animal experiments have initially confirmed it, then clinical Do men who use computers for a long time really have sperm abnormalities? According to experts, a total of 196 semen samples from healthy adult men were collected from May 2009 to March 2011. The research subjects were 22 to 40 years old and had used computers for 2 to 14 years. All subjects have no trauma or hereditary disease disease family history, none sexual dysfunction Medical history and mumps; physical examination found no obvious abnormalities in the testicles, epididymis and vas deferens, varicocele and cryptorchidism.

　　The experimenters divided these experimental subjects into three groups. Group 1 (52 cases, Group A) were men who used computers for less than 2 hours a week or had never used computers; Group 1 was those who used computers for 2 to 5 hours a day, a weak exposure group (68 cases, Group B); Group 1 was a group of men who used computers for more than 5 hours a day, a strong exposure group (76 cases, Group C).

　　The experiment found that although the sperm fertilization ability of men who were exposed to computer electromagnetic radiation for a long and medium-term period was normal, the sperm fertilization function was reduced compared with those who used computers for less than 2 hours a week.

　　Experts analyze that when computers are working, they will emit medium waves, short waves, and ultra-short waves in the same working frequency bands as industrial, technological, medical high-frequency equipment, radio, television, communications, radar and other radio frequency equipment, producing electromagnetic radiation. The testis is one of the target organs that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can cause structural and functional damage to the testis, affect reproductive hormone levels, and cause a decrease in sexual function and fertility.

　　Electromagnetic radiation causes changes in ROS content in the body's tissue fluid. Research shows that electromagnetic fields can activate ROS production and increase its concentration in tissue cells. ROS is a type of oxygen metabolite that is more chemically reactive than oxygen. Under physiological conditions, a small amount of ROS produced in organisms plays an important role in cell growth regulation, signal transmission, microbial defense and immune surveillance. However, when excessive ROS is produced, it will have toxic effects on various cells and tissues of the body.
