You won’t believe the latest place they found microplastics
Microplastics are everywhere. We've come to tacitly accept them as a side effect of our behavior toward the planet. Therefore, microplastics are within us as we eat and drink the pollutants, whether we like it or not.
It's unsurprising, therefore, to hear that medical professionals keep finding microplastics inside the human body. The latest discovery raises questions about erectile dysfunction, as doctors found microplastics inside the human penis for the first time. Four out of five patients undergoing surgery to treat the medical condition tested positive for various microplastics.
The groundbreaking research drops just weeks after two similar studies were published. New research from the US in mid-May showed the presence of microplastics in every human testicle in that study. A few days earlier, scientists from China published a study that details the detection of microplastics in every sample of semen tested.
Combined, the three papers indicate that microplastics might impact not just the ability of the penis to develop erections but also impact human reproduction.
