Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Anti‐androgens may protect against severe COVID‐19 outcomes: results from a prospective cohort study of 77 hospitalized men
Anti-androgens, like finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone, may lessen the severity of COVID-19 in men, leading to fewer ICU admissions.
research What does androgenetic alopecia have to do with COVID‐19? An insight into a potential new therapy
Androgenetic alopecia linked to COVID-19 severity; drugs reducing androgen receptor activation may help.

research Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research COVID-19 and hypopituitarism
COVID-19 and hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary gland function) are linked, with the latter's related health issues potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes, and COVID-19 possibly increasing risk for pituitary complications.
