Özet

The use of technological devices, which are becoming widespread today, is increasing day by day and the daily exposure rate of the radiation they emit is increasing accordingly. Considering the increase in ionizing radiation (IR) exposure originating from artificial sources such as medical practices and occupational exposure, it is necessary to systematically evaluate the current knowledge on the effects on the male reproductive system in reproductive age and in occupations that are professionally active and have high exposure to IR (medicine, oncological radiotherapy, mining, aviation, etc.). Considering the many studies conducted as a result of this exposure, it is seen that it poses a great threat to human health and also many studies have been conducted on the male reproductive system and it shows that it causes infertility, decreased sperm motility and a decrease in the percentage of morphologically healthy sperm cells in men, causes DNA damage and increases the risk of chromosomal anomalies, which can potentially lead to genetic disorders in subsequent generations.
