Research has determined that the COVID-19 virus can hang out in the male penis and cause erectile dysfunction long after the initial infection.
World Journal of Men's Health:
Our study is the first to demonstrate the presence of the COVID-19 virus in the penis long after the initial infection in humans. Our results also suggest that widespread endothelial cell dysfunction from COVID-19 infection can contribute to ED. Future studies will evaluate novel molecular mechanisms of how COVID-19 infection leads to ED.
