手机已成为日常生活的重要组成部分。然而，与其使用相关的健康风险往往被忽视。最近，来自多项研究的证据支持越来越多的说法，即使用手机可能对精子参数产生不利影响，导致男性生育力下降。尽管如此，其他研究表明男性不育和使用手机之间没有决定性的联系。这种结果的模糊性是由于缺乏一个集中的测定方法来衡量手机造成的损害。研究设计、伦理学和再现性都是在得出任何结论之前必须标准化的方面。
Cell phones have become a vital part of everyday life. However, the health risks associated with their usage are often overlooked. Recently, evidence from several studies supports a growing claim that cell phone usage may have a detrimental effect on sperm parameters leading to decreased male fertility. Nonetheless, other studies showed no conclusive link between male infertility and cell phone usage. The ambiguity of such results is attributed to the lack of a centralized assay for measuring inflicted damage caused by cell phones. Study design, ethics, and reproducibility are all aspects which must be standardized before any conclusions can be made.
