A recent Chinese study revealed that the emerging corona virus does not only harm the lungs, but also the kidneys and testes, which may lead to male infertility, and the team summarized the clinical data of three studies involving 147 patients.
The study found that renal impairment occurs in 3-10% of patients, as well as some damage in the urinary tract and male reproductive system.
The study found that the virus greatly affects the renal tubular cells and cells in the spermatic ducts of the testicles, and the results of the study indicate that the virus may be directly related to the cells, which may cause kidney and testicle tissue damage in patients.
The researchers warned that testicular damage caused by the virus in some cases may lead to male infertility, and added that doctors should pay attention to the infections caused by the virus in the testicle, and that doctors should make an evaluation of the reproductive functions of patients, especially young people.
Reproductive system is damaged
Dr. Jazla Fadda, health and prevention specialist, said that the enzyme (ACE2), which is often found in the membranes of the lungs, testicles and kidneys, is the main receptor of the virus, which may lead to injury and damage to the testicle.
Faddah confirmed in statements to Al-Hurra channel that damage to the testicles may affect the production of sperms and the group of androgen hormones (Testosterone), which is responsible for sexual functions in males.
She pointed out that these studies aim to the necessity of examining the vital functions of the testicle of patients after their recovery from the disease.
before it’s time
Silver added that it is difficult to judge fully scientifically on the validity and accuracy of these studies, especially with regard to the incidence of infertility for men, because only a month or more has passed on male patients who have recovered, and that the ruling that the virus cause sterility may be premature.
She explained that when a person becomes infected with the virus, his body is in a state of war, so after recovery he may have problems with some of the vital functions of the body’s organs, which are the testicles, and that the body’s immune system while fighting the virus, may cause pressure on the body’s systems.
She emphasized that studies like these to be accurate must be on a large number of patients from different societies, not just China, and after a period of recovery from the disease.
She stressed that these problems in the body’s organs, including the testes, may be temporary and return to normal after a while.
During the past days and weeks, the pioneers of communication sites in China shared an article that was published on the Wuhan city government website before it was deleted, confirming that the coronavirus affects the testicles in men and may lead to sterility.
And men who have been confirmed to have recovered from the virus demanded the need to see a doctor and check the vital functions of the reproductive system.
