Abstract:
Factors affecting male fertility include lifestyle, psychology, environment, and so on.Pathogenic microorganisms in the genitourinary system can also lead to decline of male fertility.However, doctors tend to ignore the effects of immune responses and oxidative stress caused by pathogenic microorganisms on fertility, thus delaying the optimal time of treatment.This paper reviews the relationship between bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori), viruses ( (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, human papilloma virus), and other pathogenic microorganisms (mycoplasma and chlamydia) and male infertility, and summarizes the latest research progress, aiming to provide guidance for the multidimensional treatment and to provide new ideas for the prevention of male infertility.
