Can flu affect sperm quality? no fever and he feels good , only coughing
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some...: Mild upper respiratory tract infection is usually caused by adenovirus and requires no antibiotics. Clinically, URI will not affect the quality of semen and sperms. However, if male infertility is a concern, a timely professional evaluation and counseling is required so to define the potential reason for reasonable management.
