The head fertility expert of Gennima IVF team, Mr. Evripidis Mantoudis was there, as Chair of a really interesting session! How does the virus that causes COVID (coronavirus) affect male fertility and pregnancy?

Conclusions of studies on the effect of COVID on male fertility:

-Sperm quality is negatively affected for about 3 months

-Then it seems to recover

-The same applies to DFI

Conclusions of studies on the effect of COVID on pregnancy:

- Do not seem to cause any effects on children

- Complications are more frequent in non-vaccinated women
