The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has raised concerns regarding its potential effects on various organ systems, including the male reproductive system. This research aims to investigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on male reproductive health by reviewing current scientific literature and conducting empirical studies. We assess the potential mechanisms underlying viral transmission to the testes, the immune response within the male reproductive tract and the potential long-term consequences on male fertility. Furthermore, we examine the psychological and social aspects of the pandemic on male reproductive health, exploring the implications of stress, anxiety and lifestyle changes. The results of this study shed light on the complex interplay between viral infections and male reproductive health, providing valuable insights for public health strategies and clinical interventions.
