摘　　要：Introduction and Objectives: Since its advent in 2019, Corona Virus Disease 19 (Covid-19) has changed everyday life in many unprecedented ways. With the availability of Covid-19 vaccines, clinical practice has stepped gradually towards its everyday routine. The clinician, however, needs to address such concerns as “Can Covid-19 present with urinary tract symptoms predominantly?”, “Can the urinary tract develop long-term Covid-19 symptoms?”, “Can Covid-19 vaccines/drug therapy cause male infertility?” Methods: This mini-review of the current literature has been carried out by searching the Pubmed database. Results and Conclusions: Our literature review suggests that there is insufficient evidence to conclude a significant impact on the urinary tract from Covid-19 infection. There is supporting evidence that mRNA anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are safe for male gonads. Research to further support these conclusions is required.Introduction and Objectives: Since its advent in 2019, Corona Virus Disease 19 (Covid-19) has changed everyday life in many unprecedented ways.
