Dr Bernard Toboh, a Consulting Urologist at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, says the claim that some men, who recovered from Coronavirus infection are experiencing erectile dysfunction is real.
He said the issue of erectile dysfunction among some men due to Coronavirus disease was veritable, which is a post-traumatic disorder, and had been recorded in jurisdictions or areas with high infections, but only an anecdotal evidence in Ghana.
An anecdotal evidence is an evidence that is collected in a casual or informal manner.
Dr Toboh made the remarks in an interview with the media in Accra on Saturday, when analysing the rampaging spread of the infectious disease after Christmas festivities and the New Year activities.
