Short-term impact of COVID-19 on semen parameters : A retrospective study
OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in semen parameters after COVID-19 infection and clarify its impact on male fertility.
METHODS: We collected semen samples from 82 male patients infected with COVID-19 in the past 2 months (the infection group) and 14 normal healthy men (the control group), obtained their semen parameters and compared them between the two groups before and after COVID-19 infection.
RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline semen parameters between the infection and control groups (P > 0.05), nor in the semen volume within the infection group before and after infection (P > 0.05). Compared with the normal controls, the patients showed significantly decreased sperm concentration, total sperm count, percentage of progressively motile sperm, sperm motility and percentage of morphologically normal sperm after COVID-19 infection (P < 0.05), which were reduced even more significantly in those with than in those without fever during infection (P < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the semen quality of the patients with normal body temperature before and after COVID-19 infection (P > 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed no significant correlation between semen parameters and the severity of fever during infection (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: COVID-19 infection decreases the semen quality of the patient, and fever during infection is a significant influencing factor. The severity of fever, however, is not related to the reduction of semen quality.
