COVID-19 infection may reduce serum testosterone levels and increase the risk of erectile dysfunction: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Investigative and clinical urology - 1 Mar 2025

Wang Ting, Li Chao, Song Jinbo

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection may affect serum hormones levels and male sexual function. This study aims to provide evidence for the causal relationship between COVID-19 infection, serum testosterone levels and the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Summary-level data for serum testosterone levels (199,569...
