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.

COVID??? They mean The Fauci Flu I think.
I think, to truly measure “semen quality”, you have to wait and measure 21 years after usage. Mine was pretty high in 2002, based on this method.
50% lower??? Then I guess I’m gonna have to do twice as much.....
Uh...me too...but I have kids that are in child-bearing ages and I’d like to be a grandpa someday! :)
Probably a co-inkydink.
Do not post to me. This is the third time, webheart.
Wel, the injection seems to result in the infection.
“Heck, I can hardly squirt a quart myself nowadays.”
Maybe you should try it with someone else.
Does semen quality affect the quality of the people produced from it?
Are democrats the produce of low quality sperm? Biden and son are low quality, so, semen quality are probably to blame ;)
You can provide the semen and the ladies can provide the STDs.
Match this with the documented problems women are having with their reproductive systems, well population control.
So was it developed as a sterilizing agent, rather than a bioweapon?
Why is the camel called “The Ship of the Desert”?
Because it’s full of Al-Qaeda se(a)men.
LMAO.
TMI...
Gee, let’s inject them with 4 shots of spike-protein inducing MRNA ( which goes to testicles) and see what happens
I wonder if it gets back to normal eventually. I know vaxes can do reproductive damage for both sexes.
thumbs up to your additional comments
For those asking why some still wear masks, .....
My wife wishes there was only 2.5ml... ;-)
