Chief pediatric gynecologist of the country Elena Uvarova told the media that the men who have brought new coronavirus infection may experience inhibition of reproductive function, and even become infertile. The findings of the doctor based on laboratory-confirmed a deterioration in the quality of sperm recovered.
Recall that initially mild panic on the subject sowed the Chinese, who had been ill advised all men to get tested, have not suffered any of their reproductive system. The basis for this concern about the male half of the population of China was that the previous “evil” coronaviruses often lead to inflammation of the urogenital system and ultimately caused infertility.
Now, about that talking and Russian doctors. “Today, the problem of infertility in connection with COVID appeared to a greater extent, particularly male infertility. Moved COVID gives the reduction of sperm quality by 38%. And we have men not a good sperm quality,” said Dr. Uvarov news agencies.
Oil was added to the fire and major Metropolitan urologist Armais Kamalov, who reported that men with higher testosterone levels more involved in the infection: “a Number of works have shown that coronavirus infection was discovered in biological material men. This suggests that we should seriously assess the condition of reproductive function of men. We note that 63-65% of cases were in men and the number of deaths.
a More detailed study on this subject Metropolitan urology will hold in July. However, while not all doctors tend to assume the worst. “Some infections can actually cause male infertility. All the well-known textbook example is the mumps, or the mumps. Boys who had had this infection in childhood, as complications often develop infertility. As for the coronavirus, while we have little data to draw such conclusions,” commented observer “MK” situation urologist Maxim Cross. Moreover, recently, Russian scientists from the Russian University of friendship of peoples and the Department of maxillofacial surgery of the FIRST MGMU them. I. S. Sechenov conducted a study among kovid-positive patients men, which showed that the severity of the disease depends on the level of the testosterone. Moreover, the higher the level of the male hormone, the easier to tolerate novel coronavirus infection representative of a strong half of mankind. In addition, it was found that the lower the testosterone, the worse the patients was reserve lung function that did the test at a random breath patients – none of the groups investigated was not able to hold their breath for more than a minute, the heaviest detained only 9 seconds. “Testosterone deficiency may must be a favourable background for the development COVID-19, but to aggravate the severity of due to several triggers, – told the “MK” head of the Department of endocrinology and holistic medicine people’s friendship University, Professor Svetlana Kalinchenko. Testosterone is an anabolic hormone whose deficiency is accompanied by the development of sarcopenia (muscle loss), including, and sarcopenia of the diaphragm, carrying the bulk of ventilation, hence the decline in respiratory function. The sarcopenia of the diaphragm, besides the negative impact on the respiratory system, leads to changes in intra-abdominal pressure and venous stagnation, which increases the risk of blood clots “.
as for reduced sperm quality in men, this problem is familiar to doctors in the last few decades– and to explain it as the influence of viruses will not work. So, for 60 years, the world standard in the number of sperm in a milliliter of semen has changed three times. And now dropped 6 (!) times compared to the original. Many of the risk factors leading to the decline of the so-called male fertility (fertility), well – known that Smoking, alcohol abuse, bad ecology, pesticides and heavy metals in food, stress, sedentary lifestyle, electromagnetic radiation, radiation…. And most of these factors in cities, including in Moscow. Suffice it to say that if only half a century ago men were responsible for the infertility of less than 5% of the cases, today it is 50%!
by the Way, the condition of the sperm and affect some medications, such as antibiotics. So maybe the sperm quality may degrade not only the coronavirus, but his treatment.
