The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused global pandemic threat, affecting various organs including the testis and male genital tract. The renin-angiotensin system and related proteins play an important role in the cellular entry of the virus, with high ACE 2 expression in the male genital system increasing the significance of this pathway. This paper focuses on exploring the mechanisms underlying the damage caused by COVID-19 to the male reproductive system.
The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a major pandemic threat worldwide. According to the existing clinical data, this virus not only causes respiratory diseases and affects the lungs but also induces histopathological or functional changes in various organs like the testis and also the male genital tract. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS), also ACE 2 and TMPRSS2 play an important role in the cellular entry for SARS-CoV-2. Because the male genital system presents high ACE 2 expression, the importance of this pathway increases in COVID-19 cases. As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the male genital system in direct or indirect ways and showed a negative impact on male reproduction, this paper focuses on the possible mechanisms underlying the damage caused by COVID-19 to the testis and also other components of the male genital tract.
