Impotence was among the consequences of COVID-19

Scientists have found a coronavirus in the tissues of the penis of people who have had an infection, and signs of impaired vascular function. The study was published in the World Journal of Men's Health, Medportal writes. In the tissues of the penis, which are responsible for erection, the endothelium is the same as in other vessels. COVID-19 can cause widespread endothelial dysfunction in various organs and systems, not only in the lungs and kidneys, but also in the penis. Men who had not previously complained of erectile dysfunction developed quite severe impotence after suffering from the coronavirus. Previously, the same group of scientists showed that the coronavirus can infect the testicles of some men, potentially leading to infertility.
