Concerns are growing as more people use wireless devices and electronic gadgets, which leads to worries about infertility and miscarriages possibly being connected to these exposures.

Infertility is becoming a bigger problem for young adults who want to have children. Almost 1 in 5 couples have trouble getting pregnant, and the number of miscarriages is going up by 1 percent (read below) each year.

EMFs and Reproductive Organ Damage

Signals from wireless devices and electronics can cause stress inside sensitive cells, potentially harming organs involved in making babies.

EMFs from these devices can hurt the parts of the body responsible for having babies, and research with animals supports this idea.

Female Organs

When female rats were exposed to EMFs all over their bodies, their ovaries got damaged. But this hasn’t been proven in humans.

EMFs can stop eggs from being released and harm the eggs stored in the ovaries. Some types of EMFs can even affect the growth of egg-containing structures called follicles, which can make it harder to get pregnant.

EMF exposures have also been found to make animals take longer to have babies.

Male Organs

Mice exposed to radiation from mobile phones had damage to their testicles. A study in 2021 showed that male mice exposed to 4G phone signals grew irregular layers of cells in their reproductive organs. The study said that 4G radiation might hurt the animals’ kidneys and testes.

A review in Electronic Physician said that EMFs can reduce and kill sperm-producing cells in mice. Studies in the review also discovered that EMFs can break the DNA in cells that grow into embryos.

Hormonal Disruptions

EMFs can directly impact the pineal gland, which controls hormones. This lowers melatonin, a hormone that affects sleep, reproduction, and sperm production.

Preventive medicine specialist Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet pointed out that there hasn’t been enough time to study the effects of the recent increase in radiofrequency EMFs on human reproductive organs, especially since the iPhone was only invented in 2007.

Dr. Vliet suggests using antioxidants like vitamins C, D, E, and melatonin to protect against EMF harm. Antioxidants fight against EMF-caused stress in cells and tissues.

Though we don’t have clear proof, these substances might help prevent damage from EMFs by reducing stress in cells and tissues.

EMFs Damage Sperm

Many studies, including those involving humans, have shown that EMF exposure can harm sperm.
