recent study published in the World Journal of Men’s Health may have discovered a link between the COVID-19 virus and erectile issues.
The study, conducted by scientists and researchers at the University of Miami, discovered for the first time that traces of the virus could be found in penile tissue.The most concerning part of the discovery was that these traces were found long after recovery, suggesting the virus may remain active in mens’ genitals for several months.
Researchers are concerned that this could possibly cause future erectile dysfunction (ED) or other issues.“Our research shows that COVID-19 can cause widespread endothelial dysfunction in organ systems beyond the lungs and kidneys.
