Longitudinal analysis of sperm quality in COVID-19 patients before the infection and early and long after disease. Assessment of semen volume (A), pH (B), sperm concentration (C), total sperm count (D), sperm total (E) and progressive motility (F), sperm viability (G), and normal sperm morphology according to the Kruger’s (H) or the WHO’s (I) criteria in semen specimens from patients before SARS-CoV-2 infection and early and long after COVID-19, irrespective of disease severity (n = 231). Semen analysis was performed at least twice in each individual. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Friedman test (repeated measures in time) was used; *p < 0.05, and **p < 0.01.
