Another study concerning the link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the lower urinary tract of male genitalia demonstrated that “patients with COVID-19 may have signs indicative of involvement of the lower urinary tract and of the male genital system”.
In men affected by the coronavirus, discomfort or pain in the male genital system were the most common symptoms.
The study observed scrotal discomfort in eight patients, swelling of genitalia in 14, pain in 16, and erythema in one.
A case-control trial reported that males with moderate symptoms of COVID-19 also showed a significant reduction of sperm concentration.
