Long Covid linked to heavier periods and risk of iron deficiency
The article reports that a survey of over 12,000 women found a link between long COVID and heavier, longer menstrual periods. The severity of long COVID symptoms was also found to fluctuate across the menstrual cycle, with symptoms worsening during a woman's period. Doctors suggest that the heavy periods associated with long COVID could increase the risk of iron deficiency, which could further exacerbate common long COVID symptoms. The survey provides new insights into the potential impacts of long COVID on women's health and the need for further research in this area.
