A new study explored the role of cell phones and found men between the ages of 18 and 22 who said they used their phones more than 20 times a day had a 21% higher risk for a low overall sperm count. The men also had a 30% higher risk for a low sperm concentration, a less important measure of sperm count in a milliliter of semen. The study did not specify whether the men called or texted or used their phones to do both. On the positive side, researchers found that as phone technology improved over the 13 years of the study, the impact on sperm count began to ease.

"I am intrigued by the observation that the biggest effect was apparently seen with older 2G and 3G phones compared to modern

4G and 5G versions. This is not something I am able to explain," said Allan Pacey, deputy vice president and deputy dean of the faculty of biology, medicine and health at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, in a statement. He was not involved in the study.

Another plus: There was no decline in the shape and motility of the sperm, which refers to the way sperm swim to their destination, according to the study."Whilst sperm numbers matter, the ability of sperm to swim, have healthy intact DNA and be the right shape, is at least as important," said Alison Campbell, chief scientific officer of Care Fertility, a network of fertility clinics, in a statement.
