SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) metamorphosed our
medical practice. In early June 2020, more than 6,400,000 COVID-19
(coronavirus-19 disease) cases were diagnosed across the world and more than
380,000 deaths were linked to COVID-19. Many medical symptoms of COVID-19 were
reported. We will focus, here, on potential impacts of COVID-19 on men's
andrological health. Our society (French-speaking society of andrology, SALF)
also emitted some recommendations in the andrological management of men infected
by SARS-CoV-2. First, considering the fever and the potential presence of
SARS-CoV2 in semen, SALF recommends waiting for 3?months (duration of one
spermatogenesis cycle and epididymal transit) before re-starting ART in the case
of men diagnosed COVID-19 positive. Whatever the nature of testosterone and
COVID-19 relationships, we recommend an andrological examination, sperm
parameters, and hormonal evaluation at the time of the COVID-19 is diagnosed, and
several months later. Furthermore, we are concerned by the potential
morbid-mortality of the COVID-19, which mainly affects men. This "andrological
bias", if proven, must be reduced by specific andrological diagnosis, therapeutic
and prophylactic measures. Research in this direction must be substantiated and
financially supported over the next few months (years).
