Abstract

Şiddetli akut solunum sendromu koronavirüsü - 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Çin’in Wuhan eyaletinden yayılmış ve global bir pandemiye yol açmıştır. Virüs öncelikle solunum yollarını etkilese de ürogenital sistemde etkileri ile ilgili çalışmalar mevcuttur. SARS-CoV-22 virüsünün semende olması, cinsel temasla bulaş ve bu virüsün sperm kalitesine etkisi hala net değildir. COVID-19'dan iyileşen erkeklerle ilgili çalışmalar yapılmıştır; fakat erkek üreme sistemine olası etkileri ve bulaş yolunu aydınlatabilmek için büyük ölçekli topluluk temelli çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Biz bu yazı ile COVID-19’un üreme sağlığı üzerine etkilerini derlemeyi amaçladık.

COVID-19 and Male Reproductive Health

Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread from Wuhan province of China and caused a global pandemic. Although the virus primarily affects the respiratory tract, studies on its effects on the urogenital system are present. The presence of the SARS-CoV2 virus in semen, sexual transmissibility, and impact of this virus on sperm quality is still uncertain. Several studies have examined men recovering from COVID-19, but large-scale community-based testing is needed to ascertain the effects on the male reproductive tract, and the potential for transmission way. With this article, we aimed to compile the effects of COVID-19 on reproductive health.
