Clinical studies and analyses have demonstrated the presence of the virus in the male reproductive organs, particularly in the testicles. In fact, not only has the presence of the virus been proven, but also the long-term damage that it can produce in the cells of the testicles and, as a consequence, have repercussions on the sexual health and fertility of the individual.
On January 9 of this year, a young patient in the United States declared through social networks that, as a result of having suffered a severe case of Covid-19, his penis had shrunk by 4 cm. In addition, he has commented that he has had problems with the erection as a result of the infection by this virus.
Dr. Natalio Cruz was interviewed on the program “Cuatro al Día” to comment on this case and to clarify whether or not scientific literature exists regarding these effects.
