Researchers continue to learn more about COVID-19’s long-term impact on our bodies. Now they’re looking into the link between the virus and erectile dysfunction (ED). That’s when a person has a hard time getting or keeping their penis firm enough to have sex. It is believed that the problem with erection may occur when the Covid virus attacks the heart, the blood vessels and in some cases, the muscles of the penis itself. Despite the above discoveries, scientists believe that it is still too early to know for sure what the long-term effects of the virus are on sexual and reproductive health.
