Exposure to ionizing radiation can damage reproductive tissues and impair fertility. Radiation may affect both the DNA within sperm cells and the cellular structures responsible for sperm production.
Occupational exposure in certain industries, as well as medical treatments such as radiation therapy for cancer, may increase the risk of reproductive damage.
Radiation can disrupt spermatogenesis, potentially leading to infertility or genetic abnormalities in sperm.
One possible outcome of severe testicular damage is Non‑Obstructive Azoospermia, a condition in which the testes fail to produce sperm.
Protective measures, including shielding and controlled exposure limits, are essential in environments where radiation is erotic present.
