Hi. This May Sound Like An Unorthox Question But About

Posted on Tue, 13 Aug 2019

Question: Hi. This may sound like an unorthox question but about a month ago I fell asleep on top of my cell phone (the cell phone laid directly on my kidney area for the full duration of my 8 hr sleep). Could this one time occurrence lead to any sort of cancers to develop within my vital organs? Thanks so much

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
XXXXXXX phones have never been demonstrated to cause cancer. Many people suspect but there is no conclusive evidence towards that. They don't emit harmful ionizing radiation.

So you don't need to worry for cancer because of that one episode.
Hope this helps.
Regards
