A new study released at the 8th National Andrology Academic Conference showed that microwave radiation emitted by radar can affect the quality of male semen, reduce sperm motility and increase sperm deformity rates. After stopping radar radiation, the morphology of sperm is easier to recover.
The main harm of radar to human body is the microwave radiation it generates.
Ye Lingling et al. selected 383 married men aged 22 to 46 years old who were in close contact with radar as the research object. Studies have shown that successful fertilization and fertilization potential largely depend not only on sperm number, survival rate, morphology, but also on sperm motility. The proportion of Grade A sperm with fast linear motion and strong forward motion ability to a certain extent determines whether sperm can effectively pass through the female reproductive tract and reach the fertilization site.
When the sperm grade A percentage decreases, it will interfere with the sperm fertilization process and cause the fertility index to decrease. Ye Lingling pointed out that animal experiments have proven that microwave radiation can cause a decrease in the activity of enzymes and other enzymes in the testis, thereby affecting the energy metabolism or energy supply of sperm, which can lead to slow swimming or movement disorders.
Research has also shown that decreased sperm motility can be caused by increased sperm deformity rates. When radar radiation is removed, the fastest recovery is in sperm morphology, while sperm motility is more difficult to recover in a short period of time.
