The prevalence of male infertility at the reproductive age has been estimated to be up to 7-8%, and there has been a tendency to increase in recent decades. With the exception of obstructive causes, idiopathic male infertility originates from decreased sperm quality with no organic, genetic, or endocrine alterations in the genital tract . <br /> <br /><br />Various environmental factors, such as heat or certain chemical agents, can deteriorate semen quality . With the increasing rate of male infertility, we should focus on the use of mobile phones, which have been increasingly used worldwide. The use of an electromagnetic field (EMF), which is generated from mobile phones, is increasing, which has increased the interest in investigations on its effects on human health .<br />Asst.Lec.
