Resumen

La producción científica sobre la pandemia COVID- 19 ha estado centrada sobre todo en las medidas de prevención y la atención al enfermo. Lo que al principio se comprendió como una infección respiratoria capaz de causar neumonía, ha demostrado ser una disfunción endotelial, por lo que es lógico pensar en su repercusión sexual. Se realizó una revisión de trabajos relacionados con dicho efecto en previas pandemias, con hincapié en la actual COVID- 19. Los trabajos coinciden en expresar que las condiciones de confinamiento, trabajo a distancia y limitación de actividad social, además del consiguiente efecto psicológico, ansiedad y manifestaciones depresivas, pueden ser capaces de provocar dificultades en el desempeño sexual masculino y femenino. Varios investigadores han demostrado vínculos entre la infección por COVID- 19 y la disfunción sexual eréctil, a la vez que se ha constatado un menoscabo del impulso y la respuesta sexual en el sexo femenino.
