COVID-19 and male-factor link

[Anonymous]

This is a rather disturbing, but not fully understood, possibility. I found this statement on a link someone here on DCUMAD posted about infertility support / info:



“Have you seen any changes in male patients and sperm parameters who had gone through COVID?
From the point of view of COVID-19, we know that potentially it could affect your testes. I’ve certainly had some patients who have had COVID-19 and then develop testicular problems now we don’t know the full association. However, if you look at studies that have been done in hospitalized patients, there is quite a lot of testicular damage, and undoubtedly, we think it does probably affect it. The studies that were recently done showed about 90% of patients had very low sperm counts or no sperm after they’d had COVID-19, but again this wasn’t very well controlled in the studies. There are many other factors the patient’s been in the hospital also had various drugs, and we don’t know whether it was other effects or whether it was a COVID-19 itself that was causing uh the fertility problem.“


Heres the link. https://www.myivfanswers.com/video/sperm-collection/#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-1

Has anyone’s doctor suggested this possibility? Are studies ongoing about this ?

Among the common reported side effects of Covid 19 in males, besides impaired lung and vascular function, is anorgasmia, where ejaculation is impaired or impossible outside of any issue with ED.

Google it.

Had not heard about the lowered sperm counts though it could be consisted with all the evidence of vascular damage resulting from Covid 19 infection.
