Men who keep a mobile in their pocket all day are four times more likely to suffer from infertility, an Israeli study has revealed.
The research - conducted at Haifa Technion and Carmel Medical Centre - also found that most men who speak on the phone for more than an hour a day see their sperm levels dropping to infertile levels.
Around 47 per cent of men who kept their mobile 50cm from their groin were found to have a “higher rate of abnormal sperm concentration,” according to Dr Ariel Zilberlicht, who led the study.
Of the men in the study who kept their phones further from their groins, only 11 per cent had a higher rate of abnormal sperm concentration.
