The impact of acute SARS ‐CoV‐2 on testicular function including insulin‐like factor 3 (INSL3) in men with mild COVID‐19: A longitudinal study

This study showed a reduction in testicular function, which was for the first time confirmed by INSL3, in men mildly affected by  SARS-CoV-2 infection. The risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 RNA via semen seems to be low. Febrile episodes may impact testicular function, but a direct effect of SARS-CoV-2 cannot be excluded.
