| description | The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak constitutes an unparalleled socioeconomic burden on the global scale. In critically ill COVID-19 patients, the disease manifests as a state of hyper inflammation causing the ‘cytokine storm’, which leads to various pulmonary, cardiovascular, and spurious manifestations. One such reported sequelae of COVID-19 is sexual dysfunction in males even after recovery from the disease. Various mechanisms have been proposed regarding the erectile dysfunction a patient suffers after COVID-19. Most important is the hypothesis of endothelial dysregulation, subclinical hypogonadism, psychosocial misery, and pulmonary impairment contributing to erectile dysfunction. Assessment of testicular function and hormonal axis is needed to assess the novel association of COVID-19 with sexual and reproductive health issues in males. |
