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

Sperm quality and absence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in semen after COVID-19 infection: a prospective, observational study and validation of the SpermCOVID test
"couples with a desire for pregnancy should be warned that sperm quality after COVID-19 infection can be suboptimal. The estimated recovery time is 3 months...follow-up studies are under way to confirm this and to determine if permanent damage occurred..."

"New study: Men infected with COVID have one third less sperm compared to uninfected men over 3 months later. Of 100 men infected and not hospitalized four had no viable sperm. Of 100 men not infected, none had this condition."
