Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 is a global health crisis that not only affects breathing but also has significant impacts on the reproductive systems of both men and women.
  • The study reviewed literature to examine the expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry factors in reproductive organs, finding that proteins like ACE-2 and TMPRSS2 are present in various reproductive tissues, which may lead to infertility issues.
  • Additionally, the stress and mental health impacts of the pandemic are shown to negatively influence reproductive health, resulting in poor sperm quality for men and increased miscarriage risk for women.
