A new report reveals that more than 3 months post Covid infection, men have "lower sperm concentrations and fewer sperm that are able to swim."
--1/2 of men had sperm counts 57% lower post-covid vs pre-covid.
--Motility and total sperm count were most affected & didn't improve over100 days.
--the decrease in sperm quality occurred in patients with mild COVID, too, so it appears that fertility can be affected 1/2
even in men without clinical symptoms, says Prof Nunez-Calonge.

Unfortunately, these findings line up with earlier research that I wrote about a year ago⬇️. Many reasons to not let Covid rip!

Copenhagen, Denmark: More than three months after suffering from mild COVID infection, men have lower sperm concentrations and fewer sperm that are able to swim, according to new findings presented today (Monday) at the 39th annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) [1].
