Abstract

Objectives Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has infected millions of people worldwide with extensive affection and damage to body systems and organs; hence, the study of post-coronavirus disease (COVID) sequences is mandatory. Till now, reports are upcoming on the considerable effects of COVID-19 on male sexual health with no final data. Patients and methods Our cohort study included 76 male COVID-19-infected patients, confirmed positive via nasopharyngeal PCR swab. The rationale of this study was to estimate the influence of clinical, laboratory, and radiological severity parameters of COVID-19 on male erectile dysfunction based on erectile scores and male sex hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, and estradiol). Results Our results have demonstrated a highly statistically significant correlation between COVID-19 severity (mild, moderate, and severe cases) and both erectile scores (erection hardness score and International Index of Erectile Dysfunction-5) and testosterone hormones at first and third month after COVID (P<0.001), except for testosterone level at third month and COVID-19 severity, which showed a statistically significant difference, with P value of 0.031. Conclusions The current study correlated the effect of COVID-19 severity in the terms of clinical, laboratory, and radiological presentations on male sexual dysfunction (erectile scores and testosterone hormone) at first and third month after hospital discharge, with statistical significance being highly affected in severe rather than moderate and mild cases. This strengthens the obvious effect of COVID-19 infection on male sexual dysfunction.

2019冠状病毒病严重程度对患者出院后随访男性性功能的影响
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型已感染全球数百万人,对身体系统和器官造成广泛影响和损害;因此,对冠状病毒后疾病(COVID)序列的研究是必须的。到目前为止,关于COVID-19对男性性健康的重大影响的报告即将发布,但没有最终数据。患者与方法本队列研究纳入76例男性covid -19感染患者,经鼻咽PCR拭子确诊为阳性。本研究的基本原理是根据勃起评分和男性性激素(促卵泡激素、黄体生成素、睾酮和雌二醇)来评估COVID-19临床、实验室和放射学严重程度参数对男性勃起功能障碍的影响。结果我们的研究结果显示,COVID-19严重程度(轻、中、重度)与勃起评分(勃起硬度评分、国际勃起功能障碍指数-5)和睾酮激素在COVID-19后第1个月和第3个月均有高度统计学意义(P<0.001),但第3个月睾酮水平与COVID-19严重程度差异有统计学意义,P值为0.031。结论本研究将COVID-19严重程度在临床、实验室和影像学表现方面对出院后1个月和3个月男性性功能障碍(勃起评分和睾酮激素)的影响联系起来,重症患者受影响程度高,而中轻症患者受影响程度高,差异有统计学意义。这进一步强化了新冠病毒感染对男性性功能障碍的明显影响。
