With all COVID-19 discussions routing your lungs, your heart and even toes, another part of the body has been left out of the titles - but that risks injury: the testes.

"A new study of Chinese and American researchers reveals that the new coronavirus could potentially injure testicles without infecting its cells", reports thePeriod of science. "After a careful analysis of Wuhan patient samples, researchers have discovered that the virus has caused" balloon "changes and attacked cells responsible for sperm production."

Warning signs

The link between Covid-19 and the testicles has been developed because the virus has begun to spread. As men seem to be more affected by Covid-19 than women, doctors started wondering what was the difference. A different study in China a month ago showed that one in five people claimed to have "scrotal discomfort" and, in the United States, according to theAmerican Journal of Emergency Medicine, a man in his forties went to the emergency complaining of "constant pain stabbed from his groin". He then tested positive for coronavirus.

"The high expression of ACE2 in the testicles raises the possibility that testicular viral tanks can play a role in viral persistence among men and should be examined further," said a study inMedrxiv.

How Covid-19 infects the testicles

"Scientists believe that the reaction has been completed to the virus attached to an enzyme on the surface of the cell", reports the times. "On the contrary, almost no viral genes have been detected in the sperm and the testicular tissue of patient samples. These results suggest that a sexually transmitted infection has not caused the effects."

As it is not sexually transmitted, there is no danger in the sperm itself. "The donation of sperm or an impregnation plan could be considered during the convalescence of Covid-19" patients, concluded researchersDevelopment of European Urology. Peer-examined paper has been published Sunday.

However, you can still broadcast Covid-19 to your sexual partner in the known way - even if you are testing negative. "If you and a negative test partner on COVID-19, you have not been infected at the time you have passed the test," says Dr. Deborah Lee, a sexual health expert and a medical writer toDr. Fox Online Pharmacy. "However, it is always possible that you can be infected since the test has been taken. Following the continuation of the safety rules to stay at home, the washing of hands and social distancing are essential."
