Coronavirus can lead to consequences such as scarring of the lungs and damage to blood vessels in the aortic wall. The latter are of great importance and actually determine the life expectancy of a person, said the physician-immunologist, a specialist in especially dangerous infections Vladislav Zhemchugov in conversation with Ura.ru.

“The virus damages the vessels to a greater extent, moreover, the vessels in all organs, and most importantly, the vessels that feed the vessels themselves, including the large ones. That is, there are small vessels on the wall of the aorta that are of great importance,” Zhemchugov warned … He clarified that damage to these vessels can lead to problems with the kidneys, liver, heart, brain and nervous system.
In addition, according to the doctor, after the transferred coronavirus, fibrosis, as well as disorders of the nervous system, may occur. Smell and touch are associated with it, in particular, Zhemchugov specified.
“With regard to sperm, I can assume that this is quite realistic, since the testicles, where sperm are produced, are very sensitive to blood flow. The slightest disruption of blood supply causes a disruption in the production of sperm,” the doctor added.
At the same time, he noted that in many ways the consequences of COVID-19 depend on the person’s condition before the disease.
Previously, Deputy Director for Clinical and Analytical Work, Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Rospotrebnadzor Natalya Pshenichnaya named another consequence of COVID-19. According to her, the coronavirus, especially if it is severe, can cause hair loss, as the body throws all its strength to support vital functions.
