Is it true that placing laptops on your knees and phones in your pocket are bad for your health?
Aug 8, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
The heat coming out of the laptop may result in a skin burn. As for cell phones, there's been increasing evidence that they interfere with the normal brain waves during sleep and thus should be placed away from the head when we're sleeping ; association between cellphones and a benign brain tumor (Schwannoma) has been emphasized lately though not confirmed. The effects of these devices on the genital organs are not yet determined, but it's best not to keep them in the proximity of that area for long periods of time.

Studies have shown that putting the labtop on your knees will raise the temperature on the site and this will raise scrotum temperature and warming the scrotum even more than one degree Celsius is enough to damage sperm , and thus may cause an effect on man fertility For the same reason ,studies show that meng putting their mobile in their pocket may cause low sperm count and may affect fertility.
BUT put in mind not every man will put a labtop and a phone on his knees and pocket will have a low sperm count ,it is how frequent he is used to this beside other considerations
