Plastic pollution is no longer only an environmental concern. As plastic products break down, they can form microplastics (MPs), tiny plastic particles that can enter the body through different routes, including food, inhalation, and possibly skin exposure.
According to the review of Mohammad Karimian and Sahar Yaqubi (2026), microplastics may reach the male reproductive system and affect the te**es, where s***m cells develop. It is reported that microplastics may pass through or damage the blood-testis barrier, accumulate in testicular tissue, and interfere with the normal structure and function of the te**es. They were also associated with changes in s***m production, s***m number, movement, shape, survival, and overall quality.
The review identified oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial damage, and DNA damage as possible factors behind these effects. Microplastics may also affect cells involved in s***m development and hormone production. Some studies reported changes in reproductive hormones, while laboratory studies using human semen found reduced s***m motility and viability and increased s***m DNA fragmentation. However, more human-based research is needed to understand the effects of real-life microplastic exposure.

As microplastics continue to be present in our food, water, and environment, understanding their possible effects on the human body is becoming increasingly important. Their potential impact on male reproductive health raises questions about how everyday exposure to these tiny particles may affect fertility and reproductive function. Although more human-based research is still needed, these findings highlight the importance of looking beyond the environmental effects of plastic pollution and considering its possible effects on human health.
