EMF Radiation And Fertility – Implications And Safety Measures

Over recent years, the link between male infertility problems and exposure to electromagnetic radiation as grown stronger. Namely through the extended use of new gadgets and the increase in technological advancements. This buttresses the relationship between infertility and EMF radiation.

Defining EMF radiation

But what is EMF radiation?

EMF (Electromagnetic Frequency) radiation, is a type of radiation that electric devices transmit through magnetic or radio signals.  These signals fall into two categories: ionizing (x-rays) and non-ionizing ( transmissions by phones and/or fitness trackers).

Government agencies and federal guidelines indicate that exposure to small levels of non-ionizing radiation does not pose serious health risks such as cancer. But independent research counters this claim.

There have been indications that non-ionizing radiation energies emitted by Bluetooth devices, WiFi routers, and WiFi-enabled devices, etc. are harmful.  Especially considering the massive amount of radioactive energies that we are already exposed to. Whilst one device may not emit a lethal amount of EMF radiation, our tendency to constantly be on our devices results in grave consequences. The cumulative effect of constant exposure builds up and leads to health issues. The most common effect is its negative impact on male fertility.

What effect does EMF have on male fertility?

Research on this issue has indicated that exposure to high levels of EMF radiation has caused problems in both sperm motility, morphology and potency. This means that there is low sperm visible in tests in comparison to average values and they move slower; affecting the way that the sperm will perform the task of fertilization. Although it is not impossible for a couple facing motility and potency issues to conceive, it is much more difficult and unlikely to occur.

Tips to avoid fertility problems associated with EMF radiation

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce male fertility problems associated with EMF radiation. To limit overall EMF exposure, however, one should limit the use of WiFi and EMF-emitting devices.

Be mindful when making placement

The place where you put your phone does make a difference. If you put your phone in your pant pocket, its time to consider a new location. Otherwise, consider purchasing an inexpensive EMF radiation protection sleeve. But always remember never to hold your phone close to your groin while texting or playing games. It may feel like a second, but those seconds add up over the course of the day. We recommend radiation-proof cases from SafeSleeve and Goodlee to protect you from radiations when you keep cell phones in your pant pockets.

Always set your device on a table

Furthermore, you should either get a radiation protection pad for your Device or set it on the table when you use it. Direct placement on your lap can increase the levels of EMF exposure sent to the groin area. If you must place your laptop on your lap, try putting it in airplane mode first so that WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled limiting exposure.

Use of wired electronic products

Reduce your use of WiFi-enabled devices in the home, and consider switching away from WiFi entirely. Wired internet is not only faster, but it emits less EMF radiation than WiFi. By reducing your overall exposure to EMF radiation, you have played an important part in protecting yourself against EMF-related fertility issues.

Install EMF Meter to Keep Track on EMF Radiations at Home

The importance of using an EMF detector to protect yourself and your family from harmful frequencies cannot be understated. An EMF meter is useful for detecting the levels of EMF radiation in your home, as well as figuring out which devices are the biggest generator. Best budget  KKMoon EMF Meter is available for only $22.  On the high end, Latnex HF-B3G priced at $150 can detect devices transmitting frequencies in the range of 50MHz to 3.5GHz. Regardless of your budget, there is one to suit your needs.

To Sum It Up…

If you’re having trouble conceiving and can’t find the cause, consider the possibility that EMF is affecting you. Reducing your exposure isn’t easy, but it’s definitely worth it in the end.
