Mutta saa viruksen asumaan munaan ja palleihin pitkäksi aikaa. Riskeeraa saada kaikenlaisia vittumaisia pysyviä terveyshaittoja vaikka olis lieväkin tauti. Keuhko, sydän ja verenkierto, munuaiset, pallit, muna, aivot.
Another patient – this one survived COVID-19 – had a testis biopsy about three months after his initial COVID-19 infection cleared up. The biopsy showed the
coronavirus was still in his testicles.
Our team also discovered that COVID-19 affects the penis.
An analysis of penile tissue from two men receiving penile implants showed the virus was present seven to nine months after their COVID-19 diagnosis. Both men had developed severe erectile dysfunction, probably because the infection caused reduced blood supply to the penis.
Notably, one of the men had only mild COVID-19 symptoms. The other had been hospitalized. This suggests that even those with a relatively light case of the virus can experience severe erectile dysfunction after recovery.
These findings are not entirely surprising. After all, scientists know
other viruses invade the testicles and affect sperm production and fertility.
Our study is the first to demonstrate the presence of the COVID-19 virus in the penis long after the initial infection in humans. Our results also suggest that widespread endothelial cell dysfunction from COVID-19 infection can contribute to ED. Future studies will evaluate novel molecular...
