Abstract

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia has been classified as a category B and dealt with as a category A infectious disease by the National Health Commission of China, and also as a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization. During the epidemic, unnecessary visits to hospitals may increase the risk of infection among patients and clinicians. Therefore, it is particularly important to provide some scientific medical guidance for patients with male diseases, which is also a current imperative for andrology management. And it also deserves the attention of clinical researchers whether COVID-19 pneumonia and its clinical treatments currently used may affect the male reproductive system.

Keywords: male disease; management; COVID-19 pneumonia.
