Abstract
Cellular gadgets are crinkling the modern day society and health effects caused by the electromagnetic radiations emitted from cell phones are overlooked. Present study was designed in order to direct the attention towards reproductive health and awareness among the public regarding the effects of electromagnetic radiations emitted from cell phones on the reproductive capabilities in both males and females. For this, different research journals, scientific search engines including ISI web of knowledge, pubmed, google scholar and medline which are published since 2010 in english were searched and relevant articles were selected for the review. It has been observed that the electromagnetic radiations can enhance the excitability of the reproductive organs causing increase in testosterone, alteration in spermatogenesis, infertility among couples, apoptosis, mortality, quality of oocytes and oxidative degeneration. The damaging effect of these radiations depends upon the frequency range,

Conclusion
In spite of the extensive research, demonstration for a damaging effect of cell phones on male and female genitals is still equivocal. The question has upraised a fundamental public concern; if cellular radiation causes any hazardous effects on human fertilization potential. The indecisive findings of the study forced us to think and to articulate our thoughts more strongly whether the sperm quality, spermatogenesis, infertility, miscarriage and fertilizing potentialities are affected by the use of cell phones or not. Still, extensive research should be conducted utilizing better study designs and models in order to explore the damage in pathophysiology campaigned in respect to EMF exposure from cell phones on the male and female reproductive system.
