The COVID-19 pandemic is an unexpected worldwide situation, and all countries have implemented their own policies to curb the spread of the virus. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 has opened numerous hypotheses of functional alterations in different physiological aspects. The direct impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the urogenital organs of males and females is still to be assessed. Nevertheless, based on biological similarities between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, several hypotheses have been proposed. In this study, we will discuss the possible mechanism of action, and potential effects on the male/female reproductive system and fertility.
COVID-19 大流行是一个意想不到的全球情况,所有国家都实施了自己的政策来遏制病毒的传播。COVID-19 的病理生理学提出了许多关于不同生理方面功能改变的假设。SARS-CoV-2 对男性和女性泌尿生殖器官的直接影响仍有待评估。然而,基于 SARS-CoV 和 SARS-CoV-2 之间的生物学相似性,已经提出了几种假设。在本研究中,我们将讨论其可能的作用机制,以及对男性/女性生殖系统和生育能力的潜在影响。
