[Proposals for the diagnosis and treatment of andrologic diseases during the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic]

In December, 2019, several cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) were reported in Wuhan, Hubei. Since then, more and more NCP cases, confirmed or suspected, have been found in China and other parts of the world, and the virus is now showing a tendency towards a wider spread. During the NCP epidemic, all medical workers are confronted with special challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and required of even more accurate therapeutic protocols as well as stricter observation of the principles for the prevention and control of NCP. Therefore, the Andrology Branch of Chinese Medical Association convened relevant experts to summarize the special points for andrologic clinicians to attend to in the diagnosis and treatment of male diseases during the NCP epidemic.
