From fatigue to breathing problems, thousands of people were left with symptoms long after Covid-19 was cured.
Researchers have discovered a new symptom associated with Covid-19 infection that affects only women, Medical News Today reports.
Many women with “long-term” symptoms of Covid-19 have reported menstrual disorders, blood clots, or much more pain during menstruation.
Medical News Today spoke with six women who had problems, as well as two gynecologists.
“Two weeks after the Covid-19 infection, my period was supposed to start, but nothing. I thought I was very sick, but I will recover. Nothing happened the second month either. Eight months later, I only had five menstrual cycles “. Rose said.
“We had irregular cycles, they ranged from 24 to 28 days. The first three months I noticed very large blood clots, which alarmed me. I spoke with the GP and he told me that it is normal “, said Louise, another woman interviewed by Medical News Today.
“My period has changed in terms of frequency, duration, intensity, and pain level. I also experienced a return of Covid-19 symptoms at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, which confused me.” Edith said.
Many doctors still do not know the reason for these symptoms. In addition to the actual impact of the virus on the body, disorders can also be caused by stress.
“Published information on the effects of Sars-CoV-2 is scattered. However, the virus can attack the function of the ovaries. Small-scale studies in China have shown that 25% of women infected with Covid-19 they have menstrual changes. They seem to disappear after the patient’s recovery, but at the moment there is no information on how fertility is affected “, said Dr. Linda Fan, assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at Yale University.
