Will the new coronavirus-19 vaccine cause testicular swelling and male infertility?

Will the new crown vaccine cause testicular swelling and male infertility?

American rapper Nicki Mina said on personal social media: “A friend of my cousin’s testicles swelled due to the new crown vaccine

In February 2021, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and Society of Maternal and Fetal Medicine (SMFM) issued a joint statement stating that there is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine will cause loss of fertility

Although fertility has not been specifically studied in clinical trials of the vaccine, since the vaccine was approved, there have been no reports of reduced fertility in trial participants or millions of people vaccinated, and there have been no signs of infertility in animal studies

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said: There is currently no evidence that any vaccine, including the COVID-19 vaccine, will cause fertility problems in women or men

Regarding the question of "whether the COVID-19 vaccine has an impact on fertility," the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation stated that all vaccines used in Russia to prevent new coronavirus infections are safe for reproductive health

The US research team has passed the new coronavirus mRNA vaccine research by companies such as Biontech, Pfizer, Moderna and so on

Prior to this, all participants were screened to ensure that there were no fertility problems

The results of the study were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network: Study author Ranjith Ramasamy wrote that the quantity and quality of sperm will not be affected after vaccination

• At the beginning of the study, the sperm concentration averaged 26 million/ml

  
  

• After the second vaccination, it averaged 30 million per milliliter, and even increased significantly
  .
  

• On the contrary, according to the researchers, the resulting positive effects on fertility have been exaggerated
  .
  

So one thing is certain: According to the results of this study, the mRNA vaccine has no effect on male fertility
.

The study's co-author and urologist Daniel Nassau said: "We did not find any effect of the vaccine on sperm among the men under examination
.
" He believes that more experiments will not change this result
.

Coronavirus in testicular tissue

Ramasamy concluded that COVID-19 vaccination is neither the cause of erectile dysfunction nor the cause of infertility
.
"

At the same time, he mentioned the risk of contracting the coronavirus in an article in The Dialogue
.
"The truth is: the Sars-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 is at risk of contracting these two diseases
.
"

In an earlier study, a urologist and his team were able to detect the virus in the testicular tissue of people who died of COVID-19
.
According to Ramassami, this virus not only impairs sperm production and fertility, but also causes erectile dysfunction
.

However, according to scientists, these results are not entirely surprising
.
Other viruses, such as mumps or Zika virus, can also cause inflammation of the testicles and impair fertility
.
"The more severe the infection, the higher the risk of infertility and erectile dysfunction," Nassau said
.
"I strongly recommend that everyone get vaccinated
.
