More than three months after suffering from mild COVID infection, men have lower sperm concentrations and fewer sperm that are able to swim, according to findings.
"We do not know how long it might take for semen quality to be restored and it may be the case that COVID has caused permanent damage, even in men who suffered only a mild infection."
They found a statistically significant difference in semen volume (down 20% from 2.5 to 2 milliliters), sperm concentration (down 26.5% from 68 to 50 million per ml of ejaculate), sperm count (down 37.5% from 160 to 100 million per milliliter of semen), total motility i.e. being able to move and swim forwards (down 9.1% from 49% to 45%) and numbers of live sperm (down 5% from 80% to 76%).
Prof. Núñez-Calonge said motility and the total sperm count were the most severely affected. Half of the men had total sperm counts that were 57% lower after COVID compared to their pre-COVID samples.
When the researchers looked at the group of men who provided a sample later than 100 days after COVID, they found that sperm concentration and motility had still not improved over time.
"It is particularly interesting that this decrease in semen quality occurs in patients with mild COVID infection, which means that the virus can affect male fertility without the men showing any clinical symptoms of the disease," said Prof. Núñez-Calonge.
"We did not measure hormonal levels in this study: intense changes in testosterone, a key player involved in male reproductive health, has previously been reported in COVID-infected male patients."
Professor Carlos Calhaz-Jorge commented, "It’s important to note that the semen quality in these patients after a COVID infection is still within the World Health Organization's criteria for 'normal' semen and sperm.

Of note:
“They found a statistically significant difference in semen volume (down 20% from 2.5 to 2 milliliters), sperm concentration (down 26.5% from 68 to 50 million per ml of ejaculate), sperm count (down 37.5% from 160 to 100 million per milliliter of semen), total motility i.e. being able to move and swim forwards (down 9.1% from 49% to 45%) and numbers of live sperm (down 5% from 80% to 76%).”
“Half of the men had total sperm counts that were 57% lower after COVID compared to their pre-COVID samples.”
I do find it interesting that the WHO says terrible sperm issues fits right in with what they say is “within the WHO’s criteria for ‘normal’ semen and sperm.”
They want to reduce the population. I wonder how that influences their criteria.
Eventually you will post something from medical express that will get more than 7 comments.
Heck, I can hardly squirt a quart myself nowadays.
That explains why the Navy isn’t what it used to be.
Oh, wait a minute...
Spike Protein strikes again.
Yup...would not be surprised if there was something in the Covid and the Covid “vaccine” that would be sterilizing men and/or women. Pure evil people.
Its even worse after taking the jab,,,
Vasectomy...kinda did it for me
Wonder if the J&J without the mrna has the same results or if its just the rna jabs.
I did not read the entire piece (I know, a favorite Freeper things to do), did they include stats for percentages of vaxxed vs not vaxxed, and how many boosters if so?
I don’t see anything about jabs. It says infection causes it, not the vaccine.
Woohoo, having not had COVID or any vaccines, I can be a super donor. Line up ladies!
So, since I had COVID, I can have more sex with risk of knocking someone up?
Everyone got infected.
Indeed! And a lot of young men experience a “long term” death from the shot!
It is the vaccine, not the cold.
I will wait for a longitude study that shows non-vaccs also had a drop off.
You win the thread!!
If the ladies want swimmers, I’m your 👨 man. #vaxxfree
Its even worse after taking the jab,,,
