Microplastics have been discovered inside male penis tissue for the first time, according to a new scientific study.
Six men experiencing erectile dysfunction had penis samples taken from them, and five contained microplastics.
Seven different kinds of plastic were found.
Microplastics are tiny fragments of plastic, usually invisible to the eye, that have been linked to a whole range of health conditions, from gut dysfunction to heart disease and Alzheimer’s. As well as causing physical damage and inflammation, microplastics. They have been found in virtually every human tissue, from lung and gut tissue, to brain tissue.
Microplastics have also been linked to a worldwide fertility decline that could see mankind unable to reproduce by natural means within decades. If sperm counts fall at current rates, by 2045 the median man may produce no sperm at all, meaning one half of all men will be totally infertile and the other half will produce so few sperm that they are functionally so. Microplastics were recently discovered in testicular samples taken as part of a study, and in 100% of semen samples.
