Abstract:
This study aimed to assess the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on semen quality by analysing various parameters in blood and semen samples. Additionally, we compared the results based on severity and the time elapsed since infection. Our findings confirm that SARS-CoV-2 infection particularly affects seminal parameters and, consequently, male fertility in patients with an active severe infection. However, these parameters appear to improve after one spermatogenic cycle (approximately 90 days), aligning with observations reported in previously published literature.
