Popis: Since COVID-19 first appeared, a number of follow-up events have taken place. In an effort to find a solution to this catastrophe, a great deal of study and analysis has been conducted. Because of the high morbidity and exceptionally large losses, scientists are being pushed to conduct more research and find vaccination and treatments. The virus has a wide range of effects, one of which is how it affects sexual activity in both men and women. The impact of the cardiovascular system and susceptibility to embolism, lung stress, and infection heightens the probability of hospitalization in the intensive care unit for pregnant women who have contracted COVID-19. There is no evidence of infection being passed from mother to child. In the current review, the role of COVID-19 infection and vaccination on male and female sexual activity, hormones, and the menstrual cycle for females, as well as on male sex hormones and sexual activity during infection and after vaccination, are being investigated. There are no reports of the virus being isolated from the semen of an infected patient or recently recovered patients. A recent investigation on the influence of the virus on gender susceptibility to sexual organs and function has been uncovered throughout this study.
