As we all know, from high fever to dry cough, the new coronavirus
COVID-19 will bring a series of serious side effects.
Now there is another rare side effect, testicular pain, the researchers warn.
Researchers from Harvard
Medical School have submitted a case report of a 42 year old man who was found to be positive for coronavirus after being admitted to hospital with "stinging" testicles.
Although the doctor did not find any problems with his testicles, CT scan showed damage to his lungs.
A novel coronavirus pneumonia was diagnosed two days later.
Unfortunately, because the person's symptoms are atypical, several other patients and doctors may have been unaware of the virus.
According to a study published in the Journal of American emergency medicine by researchers led by Jessi Kim, the patient described in the case report did not show any respiratory symptoms, and the research team did not know that the patient had been examined before the diagnosis, so the HCW medical staff who carried out the treatment did not wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
As a result, many people were told that they had become potential contacts.
Although it is not clear whether testicular pain in this patient is related to the virus, there are other viruses that can affect the testicles.
"Some viruses can infect testicles, such as mumps," Birmingham surgeon Dr. Wayne told the daily mail
"Only time will novel coronavirus pneumonia affect testicles, but this is not the complaint I have treated many patients."
"For most people, the last thing they worry about is the testicles," he added.
