Doctors say that women with long Covid are vulnerable to longer and heavier periods, which may endanger them with the risk of iron deficiency, which exacerbates the common symptoms of the condition.
The results appeared from a survey of more than 12,000 women, which also found that the severity of the long length symptoms rose and fell through the menstrual cycle and became worse when women had their periods.
Initial tests revealed hormonal changes and excessive endometriosis of the endometrium in women who suffer from long length, but more work is needed to create the effects of multiplication. There was no evidence that the function of the long ovarian is harmful.
The work indicates the impact of the dual -direction, as the long long affects the periods of women and hormonal changes on the menstrual cycle that affect the severity of the long long symptoms.
“Our hope is that this allows us to develop truly specific treatments for women who suffer from menstrual disorder,” said Dr. Jacqueline Maybine, a pride reader and consultant at Edinburgh University. “This may also lead to female treatments for Kovid students themselves, which we know can be prevalent in women of childbearing age.”
and It is estimated that 400 million people Throughout the world, it either has a long phase or recovered from this situation. Almost two million people in England alone are self -reporting like living with long long, defined as symptoms that last for at least four weeks after hunting the virus.
Doctors recorded more than 200 symptoms of long floors, but the most common include fatigue, brain fog, difficulty breathing, digestive problems, headache, smell and taste changes. Dispondents are driven by a set of problems, from the remaining infection and persistent inflammation to disrupting the immune system, mitochondria, and cell resolutions.
Maybine and her colleagues analyzed data from 12,187 women in the UK that completed an online poll between March and May 2021. More than 1000 students, while more than 1700 virus recovered. More than 9400 has not tested any positive on Covid.
The researchers found that women with Long Covid had longer, heavier periods and more bleeding among other women. A survey of follow -up with 54 women revealed that the severity of its symptoms fluctuated on the menstrual cycle and was agreed in the two days before and during its periods.
The researchers continued to analyze 10 women with a long coffee. Tests revealed inflammation of the endometrium and the upper levels of the usual hormone of the hormone dehydrotestosterone. Both can be drivers of heavier.

More importantly, according to the study in Nature CommunicationsThe tests did not find any evidence that the long length has harmful to the normal performance of the ovaries.
Many women in children’s age are deficient, and heavy periods often contribute to this issue. This leads to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath and dizziness, all common in long length. Maybine said: “If you have a long phase on the head of iron deficiency, it is not surprising that these women are infected with the delusion and are unable to work.”
Dr. Vicky Male, who studies reproductive immunology at the Imperial College College in London, said that inflammation of the uterus is associated with severe menstrual bleeding, so this could be the link between long, long, long or heavy periods. She said: “Anti -inflammatory drugs are already used to treat heavy periods, so these results indicate that they may also be useful for people with heavy menstrual bleeding as a symptom of long symptoms.”
