Abstract

Introduction and Objectives: Since its advent in 2019, Corona Virus Disease 19 (Covid-19) has changed everyday life in many unprecedented ways. With the availability of Covid-19 vaccines, clinical practice has stepped gradually towards its everyday routine. The clinician, however, needs to address such concerns as “Can Covid-19 present with urinary tract symptoms predominantly?”, “Can the urinary tract develop long-term Covid-19 symptoms?”, “Can Covid-19 vaccines/drug therapy cause male infertility?” Methods: This mini-review of the current literature has been carried out by searching the Pubmed database. Results and Conclusions: Our literature review suggests that there is insufficient evidence to conclude a significant impact on the urinary tract from Covid-19 infection. There is supporting evidence that mRNA anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are safe for male gonads. Research to further support these conclusions is required.

新冠肺炎对男性生殖尿道影响的研究进展

自2019年出现以来，2019冠状病毒病(Covid-19)以许多前所未有的方式改变了日常生活。随着Covid-19疫苗的可用性，临床实践逐渐走向日常。然而，临床医生需要解决诸如“Covid-19是否主要表现为泌尿道症状?”、“尿路会出现长期的Covid-19症状吗?”、“Covid-19疫苗/药物治疗会导致男性不育吗?”方法:通过检索Pubmed数据库，对当前文献进行小型综述。结果和结论:我们的文献综述显示，没有足够的证据表明Covid-19感染对尿路有显著影响。有支持证据表明，mRNA抗sars - cov -2疫苗对男性性腺是安全的。需要进一步的研究来支持这些结论。
