The ongoing management of COVID-19 pandemic suggests concern beyond the respiratory health to potential impacts on various bodily systems. A recent study published in the Virology Journal looks into the male reproductive health, majorly investigating the effects of COVID-19 on sperm quality.
The study was conducted at the Guilin People’s Hospital and encompassed 85 males who sought fertility evaluation over the period of June 2022 to July 2023. This study conducted a thorough analysis of semen parameters across three distinct timeframes: within 6 months before COVID-19 infection, within 3 months post-infection and 3 to 6 months after COVID-19 recovery.
