“Doctor Teerawat” reveals the results of a study in Brazil that the COVID virus can infect the cells of the testicles. Affects sperm quality Affects testosterone production. Infected people should refrain from having children for at least 24 weeks after infection.
Today (October 16) Dr. Prof. Teerawat Hemachutha, consultant to the College of Oriental Medicine, Rangsit University. Post a message on Facebook “Thirawat Hemachudha” in the subject “Sperm is infected with COVID and the quality is not good.” Details tell that
The Covid virus has entered the body. Distributed everywhere in the body and will remain in the organ As is well known. and people who died of other causes Even after the symptoms disappeared, an autopsy found that the virus was everywhere, including the brain and lymph nodes. in the cells of the testes Including the cells that make sperm.
But what needs to be taken care of is living people who are infected with COVID and are admitted to the hospital at a moderate to severe level. and was discharged from the hospital for 3 months and found that in 9 out of 13 cases the sperm still had the virus. From a study with an electron microscope (transmission electron microscopy), but could not detect PCR In addition, there were abnormalities in the sperm.
Cells in the testicles include Sertoli Leydig cells and sperm producing cells. It can infect viruses because it contains furin TMPRSS11B and TMPRSS 12 which activate proteases and allow viruses to enter cells. The barrier between the blood vessels and the testicles is also weak. Previous reports have found that sperm are injured by inflammatory substances oozing from white blood cells and Sertoli cells, and that they are also directly affected by the virus attached to the surface of the sperm.
The ability of the virus to enter leydig cells affects the production of testosterone and other steroids In addition, leydig plays a role in nurturing the Sertoli cells that control sperm production.
The testicles themselves It has the same mechanism as other organs, such as the lungs, to combat danger In other organs, different types of white blood cells are used. and release thick, cloudy substances called ETs or extracellular traps, which act as an anti-bacterial agent but can also cause cell damage. and all these patients The recovered patients were found to have DNA-based ETs, an ETosis-like response to infection and attempts to eradicate the virus.
From the results of this study, the research team has recommended that the child should at least be prevented from being infected. Two cycles of sperm production are 24 weeks, including Desire to have children through normal sexual intercourse and help to have children, such as artificial insemination using different methods For the safety of the child that will be born
In this study He did not mention those who received the vaccine. who already know that the vaccine can be distributed to any part of the body, including the testicles. and affects the cells that make sperm And it was previously reported Pregnant women who received at least one dose of the vaccine There are disorders of childbirth, stillbirth, uterus, and abnormal placenta. And it also affects the child that is born. And men in Western countries have discovered that their sperm do not move as well.
The report appears in the journal Andrology and was published on January 23, 2024 by a team from Brazil.
