Monkeypox and Male Fertility: Is There Any Looming Danger?

Abstract

Abstract: The current emergence of monkeypox virus infection, mainly reported from previously non-endemic regions, raised concerns about its transmission and possible implication on general health and wellbeing. The concern is spawned from the fact that the virus keeps spreading, and as of the 8th September 2022, at least 88 countries have reported over 54191 cases globally. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, this recent outbreak is mustering up thoughts of public panic, social disruption, severe illness, and comorbidities, including risks to fertility and offspring.
