接種新冠疫苗不會影響生育能力

Getting vaccinated against Covid-19 won’t affect a couple’s chances of getting pregnant, but contracting the coronavirus could impair male fertility.

接種新冠疫苗不會影響一對夫婦的受孕幾率，但是感染新冠病毒可能會損害男性的生育能力。

Those are the main conclusions of a study funded by the National Institutes of Health, refuting a common myth about the vaccine and sending a warning to men who avoid it.
這個結(jié)論來自于美國國家衛(wèi)生研究院資助的一項研究，該研究駁斥了關(guān)于疫苗的普遍誤解，并向拒絕接種疫苗的男性發(fā)出提醒。

Researchers at Boston University studied more than 2,000 couples and found no differences in their chances of conception if either partner was vaccinated compared to unvaccinated couples.
波士頓大學(xué)的研究人員對2000多對夫婦進(jìn)行了研究，發(fā)現(xiàn)與未接種疫苗的夫婦相比，接種疫苗的夫婦受孕的幾率沒有差異。

But the couples’ chances of conceiving decreased slightly if the male partner had contracted the virus 60 days or less before a menstrual cycle, an indication of diminished male fertility.
但是，如果男性伴侶在女性月經(jīng)周期前60天內(nèi)或更短時間內(nèi)感染了新冠病毒，夫婦的受孕幾率會略有下降，這表明男性伴侶生育能力有所下降。

One possible reason for that, researchers theorized, is the likelihood that coronavirus infection would cause a fever, which has been known to reduce sperm count.
研究人員推測，一個可能原因是感染新冠病毒可能會導(dǎo)致發(fā)燒，而眾所周知，發(fā)燒會減少精子數(shù)量。
