Every man has microplastics in his penis. What does this mean?

With a high degree of probability, we can say that microplastics are in your eggs. Accept it as a fact and come to terms with it.

Scientists found microplastics in all those studied testicles and sperm subjects in this research. Microplastics enter your body with food, and into the genitals through the blood, where gradually accumulates and leads to impotence and infertility. There is a theory that it is because of this in the world and Fertility decreases.

On the topic

Orlando Bloom in the summer of 2025 spent more than 10,000 euros for a blood filtration procedure to remove microplastics from the body. The procedure, offered at the Clarify Clinic in London, promises to clear the plasma of harmful particles before returning it to the body. Reports Daily Mail. According to the clinic, during this process, blood plasma is separated from red blood cells, purified using the Clari device, and then the mixture is re-injected into the patient. Bloom, 48, praised the procedure and clinic for helping him rid his body of modern impurities.

Back in 2022, scientists from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam reported on the pages of The Guardian newspaper that they had found microplastic particles in human blood for the first time. The fact is that a particle of microplastics with a size of 0.0007 nm can move quite freely through our vessel in the blood. According to the results of a scientific study of these volunteers, 17 out of 22 people were found to have microplastics in their analyses. This is a very alarming fact, given that 80% of those surveyed have pollution, and their age was 23 years, and there were no health problems. In 50% of cases, PET plastic was found in the blood. A third of the samples contained polystyrene, and a quarter – polyethylene.

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, less than 5 millimeters in size, that enter the environment through various sources, such as plastic packaging, cosmetic products, and synthetic clothing. These particles can enter the human body through food, water, and air.

The detection of microplastics in human tissues, including genitals, raises serious concerns about their health effects.

Why microplastics are found in the body

Food & Water: Microplastics are found in drinking water, seafood, and other foods. The use of such products leads to the entry of particles into the digestive system. Also lovers of tea in pyramid bags A huge amount of microplates in the blood is also waiting. So, the surgeon said that when brewing a pyramid Nanoparticles of the sachet enter the body, and with the constant use of such pieces, there are extremely many of them, which leads to tissue inflammation. The doctor advised, if possible, not to drink such teas, but to brew leaf teas.

Inhalation: Microplastics are present in the air, especially in large cities and indoors. Inhalation of particles can occur together with dust.

Contact through the skinAlthough less likely, microplastics can enter the body through skin contact, especially if cosmetics containing plastic are used.

Health hazards of microplastics

What specific effect microplastics have on our body is still unknown. It enters the body with food, and into the genitals through the blood, where it gradually accumulates and, possibly, leads to impotence and infertility. There is also a theory that it is because of this that the world and Fertility decreases.

Inflammation and tissue damage: Microplastics can cause inflammatory responses and damage to cells and tissues, which can lead to chronic diseases.

Hormonal imbalance: Some types of plastic contain chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, which are endocrine disruptors. These substances can disrupt the hormonal balance, which is especially dangerous for the reproductive system.

Carcinogenic effects: Plastic causes a mutation in cells, which further leads to oncological process. Long-term exposure to microplastics and the toxic substances they contain can increase the risk of cancer.

Impact on reproductive health: The presence of microplastics in the testicles and semen can reduce sperm quality and affect fertility. It can also lead to birth defects and other reproductive problems.

Is it possible to purify the blood from microplastics?

Most likely not. After Orlando Bloom "cleaned" his blood of microplastics, scientists quickly questioned the whole meaning of the entire procedure.

"I don't know of any reliable evidence that this procedure has any of the claimed effects.", said Professor Edzard Ernst from the University of Exeter. “Я даже не уверен, что она [процедура по очищению крови] позволяет избавиться от чего-либо, кроме больших денежных средств”.

Doctor Musumi Mukherjee confirmed these concerns in an interview with ITV News, pointing to the high price and lack of peer-reviewed studies confirming the safety and efficacy of treatment to "cleanse the blood" of microplastics.

The detection of microplastics in the human body requires further research to better understand their impact on health. Measures are needed to reduce the use of plastic and improve its recycling methods, as well as to raise public awareness of the risks associated with microplastics.
