Can Covid-19 Coronavirus Cause Long-Term Erectile Dysfunction? Here Are 2 More Studies
Forbes ^ | May 16, 2021 | Bruce Y. Lee

A new publication in The World Journal of Men's Health described what happened to two men following bouts with Covid-19 coronavirus infections. Six to eight months afterwards, they still had virus particles in their penises. Not only that. They had developed severe erectile dysfunction (ED) even though they hadn’t had ED prior to having Covid-19.

In fact, the two men had ED so severe that they underwent penile implant surgery. This offered a team from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, (Eliyahu Kresch, Justin Achua, Russell Saltzman, Kajal Khodamoradi, Himanshu Arora, Emad Ibrahim, Oleksandr N. Kryvenko, Vania Wolff Almeida, Fakiha Firdaus, Joshua M. Hare, and Ranjith Ramasamy) an opportunity to examine samples of the patients’ penile tissue. After all, unless you are already undergoing surgery, “take a sample of your penile tissue” may not be the first thing that you want to hear. For comparison, the team also looked at penile tissue from two patients who hadn’t had Covid-19 but were undergoing penile implant surgery as well. The team then stained the tissue samples from the four patients and used an electron microscope to examine the samples.

Examination found Covid-19 coronavirus particles near the blood vessel endothelial cells in the samples from the two patients who had had Covid-19. Blood vessel endothelial cells are cells lining the insides of the blood vessels in the penile tissue. They didn’t find such virus particles in the samples from the two patients who hadn’t had Covid-19. They also found lower levels of endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) and endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function in those who had had Covid-19 compared to those who hadn’t. Lower levels of eNOS and EPC function suggests the endothelial cells may not be functioning as well.

Basic experimental design.

What is wrong and what is missing?

As the vaccines trigger havoc in the human guinea pigs, the MSM and big pharma will blame and call it the covid variants and spin off viruses.

"Increasing Nitrous oxide delivery is how Viagra works."

LOL. Not nitrous oxide, nitric oxide.

"Now watch as they blame covid for the infertility and impotency that’s going to be caused by the so called vaccines."

The doctors were already saying that before any vaccines were developed. IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I TELL YA! EVERYTHING!

Mine is way UP too, after three years on an all meat diet. I’m 74 and asked my doc to check my T, it measured 521. Good for a guy half my age.
