Influence of COVID-19 on male fertility. What is already known?

A new coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 was first identified in December 2019. It has spread quickly and caused a global pandemic. Analysis of demographic factors reveals a disproportionately large number of men with severe forms of the disease. Moreover, mortality rate is also higher in men. The currently available data regarding potential risks to the male reproductive system, including pathophysiological basics, detection of viral RNA in the reproductive tract, risk of orchitis, hypogonadism, possible influence of oxidative stress, etc. are described in the review.
