The emergence and proliferation of the new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has had an incisive impact on the world, more specifically among health professionals who are on the front lines in the fight against this pathology. This study specifically highlights the reproductive and sexual health of men when affected by this pathology, which is yet another concern for men’s health, especially due to the real possibilities of having a worrying impact on male fertility, which is already constantly impacted by factors resulting from the environment and lifestyle habits of this population. The main objective of the study is to know the sexual and reproductive consequences of COVID-19 in male patients according to what the scientific literature indicates. For this, searches were carried out in databases such as: Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online), Lilacs (Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences), BVS (Virtual Health Library), MEDLINE (Pubmed) and PEDro and on the Google Scholar search site, using the following keywords associations: COVID-19, sequelae, reproductive health, male patients, testicles, infertility, erectile dysfunction, penis. After the review study, it was inferred that it became evident that the sexual and reproductive sequelae in men contaminated by SARS-CoV-2 are severe to the point of harming the health and well-being of these patients. This assumption makes it clear that studies with male patients after COVID-19 should continue in order to establish better strategies for diagnosis and treatment of this population. |
