This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

COVID-19 affects the sexual health and fertility directly (by eliminating the distance between individuals and saliva exchange and also affecting the reproductive system) or indirectly (refusing the sexual intercourse and reducing fertility) and has consequences for couples and society. The present review study will be conducted to investigate the consequences of COVID-19 on sexual and reproductive health.Methods:
The study will investigate the articles published from the onset of the disease in the world until July 30, 2020. To this end, all articles will be extracted and those with the inclusion criteria will be selected by searching on valid scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, SID, and Magiran and using keywords relating to the research purpose. Systematic review articles, letters to the editor-in-chief, abstracts, and clinical trials will be deleted. Articles will be separately evaluated by two researchers. The STROBE checklist will be used to check the quality of the articles.Discussion:
The research results will be sent to journals for reviewing systematic articles and will be presented in PROSPERO. Also, this protocol is registered in PROSPERO with number CRD42020212621.The present systematic review will examine the effects of COVID-19 on sexual and reproductive health in women and men.
