Coronavirus can affect male fertility, researchers say


A new study by the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has discovered potential impacts COVID-19 can have on male fertility and sexually transmitted diseases. Researchers looked at tissue from autopsies of six men who died from the COVID-19 infection and found the virus was still in their testicles. They also found COVID-19 in the testicles of a 28-year-old male patient who had the coronavirus and recovered without showing symptoms. The finding is novel, remarkable, and certainly worthy of further exploration,” added Dr. Ramasamy. “I’m fairly certain, just like mumps, about 20 to 30% of men are going to have some sort of affected fertility in their future,” Dr. Ramasamy said.
