The effect of infection with “Corona” and the vaccine on the fertility of women and men? .. A scientific study answers

A recent scientific study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology revealed that the chances of pregnancy decline in men and women if they are infected with the Corona virus, but for a period not exceeding 60 days. The study links Corona vaccines with a decrease in the possibility of pregnancy.

And “CNN” quoted researchers participating in the study from the College of Public Health at Boston University and other institutes in the United States, that “these discoveries indicate that men’s infection with the emerging corona virus, can be linked to a short-term decline in fertility, while the anti-vaccine does not affect them.” COVID-19 affects male and female fertility.

The researchers added, “This discovery is in addition to the evidence found by previous studies conducted on animals, and others, about fertility treatments and tests for the anti-Covid-19 vaccine, and none of them found a link between the anti-Covid-19 vaccine and reduced fertility,” and they continued. Several studies have also documented no association between the COVID-19 vaccine and the risk of miscarriage.

The study was based on the data of 2,126 women between the ages of 21 and 45 years, in the United States of America and Canada.

The women participated in the study between December 2020 and September 2021, and the researchers conducted a follow-up with them through November 2021.

During the study, women filled out online forms every 8 weeks, dealing with reproductive issues and health history, to other factors, and were given the option to invite their male partner to fill out the form, and he received one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at the minimum among the participants, 73% of women and 74% of men.

The researchers analyzed the answers, and concluded that there is no link between receiving the anti-Covid-19 vaccine and the possibility of pregnancy during one menstrual cycle, and that the previous infection does not affect the possibility of pregnancy among women, while there is a link between men who were infected with Covid-19, and “a decline in transient” in their fertility.

And the National Institutes of Health announced, in a press statement, that the discoveries noted a decline of 18% in the man who was infected with Covid-19 within 60 days, compared to another who did not have corona.

"These findings confirm that there is no link between a couple who would like to have the vaccine and fertility," said Dr. Diana Bianchi, director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which funded the study.
