Just when you thought the future couldn\u2019t get much more dystopian, scientists have issued more stark warnings that COVID-19 is reducing fertility in men, and could contribute to depopulation of the planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scientists say that there is increasing evidence in patients of testicular damage and lower sperm counts and mobility, with initial studies revealing the presence of the virus in semen samples.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers at the Justus-Liebig-University in Germany. along with scientists from Allameh Tabataba\u2019i University in Iran have\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0 significant inflammation markers in samples of testicular tissue from 84 Covid-19 patients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They discovered that the inflammation and cellular stress were twice as severe in the Covid-19 positive group as in a control group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Researchers also noted that sperm was three times slower in COVID patients, and sperm count in general was much lower.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The study found that sperm concentration was reduced by 516 per cent, mobility by 209 per cent and sperm cell shape was altered by 400 per cent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The researchers further noted that this represents oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, one of the most common causes of subfertility in men.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThese effects on sperm cells are associated with lower sperm quality and reduced fertility potential,\u201d\u00a0noted lead researcher Behzad Hajizadeh Maleki.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough these effects tended to improve over time, they remained significantly and abnormally higher in the Covid-19 patients, and the magnitude of these changes were also related to disease severity,\u201d Maleki further warned.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, Researchers from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan (yes, that Wuhan) have issued a call for a long term study into the effects of the virus on male fertility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe propose that there is an urgent need to track male Covid-19 patients during their recovery,\u201d\u00a0microbiologist Yu Tian and reproductive biologist Li-quan Zhou\u00a0noted<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previous studies have pointed toward a correlation between the virus and reduced fertility.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year a Miami University study<\/a> found that COVID-19 can invade\u00a0tissues in the testicles<\/a> and \u00a0impair sperm function.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In January a review of studies published in the journal\u00a0Open Biology <\/a>warned that COVID posses a \u201cglobal threat to male fertility potential.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spanish scientists have also reported<\/a> worrying signs of the virus attacking male reproductive organs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research conducted by\u00a0Professor Dan Aderka<\/a>\u00a0of the Sheba Medical Centre in Tel Aviv, Israel, reported that the\u00a0virus<\/a>\u00a0was present in 13 percent of\u00a0sperm<\/a> samples taken from screened COVID-19 patients. He also found a 50 percent reduction in sperm volume, concentration, and motility in patients with moderate symptoms 30 days post diagnosis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another study conducted last year by researchers in Shangqiu, China<\/a> discovered the presence of the virus in sperm, raising concerns that it could be sexually transmitted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The list of studies linking the virus to potential infertility is endless.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global fertility rates were already decreasing before COVID at a \u201cjaw dropping\u201d rate<\/a>, with one study published in The Lancet\u00a0<\/a>highlighting that the global fertility rate almost halved to 2.4 in 2017, and projections indicate that\u00a0it will fall below 1.7 by 2100.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other studies<\/a> have noted that the \u201cTotal sperm count in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand dropped by up to 60% in the 38 years between 1973 and 2011\u201d and more recent research shows the trend is continuing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, it is projected that the fall out of COVID will lead to a huge decline in the birth rate<\/a> as people simply choose not to bring children into the world at this time.<\/strong><\/p>\n
