Summary. Acute and chronic stress, COVID-19 and male hypogonadism are interrelated.The aim of the study – to analyze the literature on the interactions of stress, COVID-19 and male hypogonadism, to trace the main links in the pathogenesis.Materials and Methods. The study examined scientific publications over the past decade, which are available on the Internet, the key words were "COVID-19", "male hypogonadism", "acute stress", "chronic stress", "pathogenesis".Results. In order to study in more detail the effect of stress in COVID-19 on male hypogonadism, the pathogenetic chains of three separate vicious circles are considered separately: "COVID-19 and stress", "COVID-19 and male hypogonadism", "stress and male hypogonadism". Attention is paid to pathogenetic mechanisms in the presence of all three factors: COVID-19, stress and male hypogonadism.Conclusions. The link between the effects of stress, COVID-19 and male hypogonadism has been proven. The main pathogenetic links of these interdependent processes are described.
