We are exposed to EMFs almost everywhere on the earth through electrical sources, digital gadgets, smart devices, wifi sources, cell towers and satellites. Long-term, non-stop EMF exposure disturbs the body’s healthy functions and can even cause permanent damage to the human body. Constant usage of wireless devices and ever-increasing EMF radiation levels are leading to many health risks, including reproductive system problems.
Effect of EMFs on the Female Reproductive System
EMF radiation can negatively impact our health by breaking chemical bonds and affecting the molecular and chemical structures of the cells and their functions. According to NCBI, various scientific studies prove that EMF exposure can harm sex hormones, fetal development, pregnancy, and gonadal function in women’s bodies.
The severity of harm caused varies depending on the frequency and length of exposure. Let's take an in-depth look into the effects of EMFs on reproductive systems:
Decreases Ovulation
Exposure to high-frequency radiations during embryonic development can impact the ovulation process, reduces ovarian reserve, causes loss of egg cells, and can even result in infertility.
Harmful EMF radiation exposure to the female reproductive system can negatively affect cell functions and their growth. Since both processes are crucial for the healthy development of a baby, it's clear that EMF exposure can be the reason for serious and permanent reproductive system problems.
Miscarriages
Some studies report that increased cell phone usage (more than 6 hours a day) can contribute to a higher risk of early miscarriage. A higher risk of miscarriages and fluctuations happens due to increased temperature in fetal tissues while developing.
Fetal Complications
Giving your baby a healthy and happy start begins with avoiding alcohol, refining your diet, and improving your exercise routine. In-depth research shows that women exposed to high concentrations of EMF radiation via keeping cell phones close to body experienced higher risks for stillbirth, low birth weight, premature birth, and an altered nervous system.
Effect of EMFs on the Male Reproductive System
Chronic stress, excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and lifestyle are all factors that contribute to decreased male reproductive health. But there's another underrepresented yet primary reason hurting the reproductive system in today’s lifestyles: EMF-emitting devices. The male reproductive system is one of the most sensitive organs to electromagnetic radiation and wireless signals.
Lower Sperm Count
An insightful research comprising 2100 men, scientists' reveals that exposure to mobile phone radiation can cause a "significant decrease" in live sperm count. Additionally, the researchers found that prolonged exposure to high-frequency radiation can decrease amounts of luteinizing hormone- an essential sex hormone- within the body.
Declining Sperm Motility
Sperm motility refers to the cell's ability to move efficiently and plays a significant role in sperm quality. Having fewer than 20 million motile sperm effectively reduces the chances of a successful pregnancy. Human and animal studies show EMF can decrease sperm quality by reducing motility and increasing oxidative stress.
DNA-Breakage in Testicular Cells
Exposure even to super low-frequency EMFs could negatively affect sperm motility and testicular weight. Researchers also observed that EMF exposure contributes to DNA-strand breakage in testicular cells.
Factors Affecting EMF Radiation's Impact on Fertility
The length of exposure is one of the significant factors that influence the effect of EMF radiation on male fertility. Constant and higher levels of EMF exposure rate at home and work increases the risk of radiation toxicity in testicles.
Other factors include the vital link between several undeveloped cells exposed to wireless radiation and the water content of the organ. Therefore, the impact of EMF radiation is significantly higher if immature cells and organs containing more water get exposed.
What You Can Do to Protect Yourself
Now that EMF is in the form of 5G radiation, WiFi signals, microwaves and all around you, there's no way of escaping EMF exposure. In this case, the best thing you can do is to minimize your exposure time at every opportunity.
Reducing your body's exposure to EMF radiation while you sleep allows it to recharge and reenergize itself. You can implement protective measures such as turning off your WiFi router before bed, keeping electronic devices outside the bedroom, and keeping your phone in airplane mode.

Conclusion
Understanding how EMF radiation affects the human body is crucial in adopting measures that lower the body's exposure to harmful radiation. EMFs such as 5G radiation, wifi signals, and microwaves can adversely affect fertility in men and women.
EMF radiation can lead to low sperm quality for men, increasing the risk of birth complications and miscarriages in women. Fortunately, both men and women can adopt strategies to limit EMF exposure, such as limiting cell phone use, keeping them away from the body and the bedroom, and using EMF protection garments and blankets.
