COVID-19, the clinical condition caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has been associated with massive cytokine storm and damage to multiple organ systems. Although evidence for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in the testis remains scarce, testicular damage and dysregulation of gonadotropins associated with inflammation has been reported. Additionally, as a result of the rapidly evolving pandemic, frequently updated medical interventions and public policies leading to delays of care can play a role in fertility. This narrative review aims to summarize the current literature on how COVID-19 may influence male fertility.
新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 型（SARS-CoV-2）引起的临床疾病，与大量细胞因子风暴和多器官系统损伤有关。尽管在睾丸中检测到 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的证据仍然很少，但已有报道称与炎症相关的睾丸损伤和促性腺激素失调。此外，由于大流行迅速演变，经常更新的医疗干预措施和公共政策导致延迟治疗，可能会对生育能力产生影响。本综述旨在总结目前关于 COVID-19 如何影响男性生育力的文献。
