Oh dear:corona is not good for sperm

Did you just have corona as a man? Then it is better to put the wish to have children on hold for a while, because corona is not good for sperm…

According to the Belgian professor Gilbert Donders, the semen of men who have been infected with corona is quite damaged. Not only is there less seed present, it is also less mobile and can even be deformed!

Temporary

Fortunately, it's not something that lasts. It's only temporary. He does advise couples to wait a while before getting pregnant. After four to six months, the sperm cells begin to recover.

Striking results

Although his research is small-scale, Donders finds the findings "spectacular". Only 26 men were studied, but the results were so striking that it cannot be a coincidence. A dramatic drop in sperm count was seen in a majority of sperm samples. The mobility was also less and the shape different. There was also DNA damage.

Patience

It sounds pretty intense, but luckily it's only temporary and everything should be fine again. It only takes a few months of patience.
