SARS-CoV-2 impairs male fertility by targeting semen quality and testosterone level: A systematic review and meta-analysis | PLOS ONE

“The present study demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 significantly reduced ejaculate volume, sperm count, concentration, viability, normal morphology, and total and progressive motility. Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 led to a reduction in circulating testosterone level, but a rise in oestrogen, prolactin, and luteinizing hormone levels. These findings were associated with a decline in testosterone/luteinizing hormone ratio. Conclusions The current study provides compelling evidence that SARS-CoV-2 may lower male fertility”

Impact of COVID-19 on female fertility: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
"The novel coronavirus invades the target cell by binding to ACE2, which is widely expressed in the ovaries, uterus, vagina and placenta. Significantly, the SARS-CoV-2 is said to interrupt female fertility through regulating ACE2. Thus, it is essential to investigate if the novel COVID-19 hampers female fertility"
