LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF CORONAVIRUS INFECTION (SARS-COV-2) IN WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE
Introduction: The long-term effects of COVID-19 on women’s general and reproductive health remain insufficiently studied.
Aim: To evaluate the overall and reproductive health status of women after COVID-19, as well as the prevalence and nature of long-lasting post-COVID symptoms.
Methods: A descriptive study was conducted using a questionnaire collecting data on age, height, health status before and after COVID-19, pregnancy and delivery outcomes, frequency of medical consultations, and duration and nature of post-COVID symptoms. Data analysis was performed with IBM SPSS Statistics 19.
Results: Approximately 80% (n≈239) of women aged 21–35 rated their pre-COVID health as good or better; after infection, the proportion of "very good" ratings decreased to 3.7%. Preterm births and miscarriages accounted for 32%. Post-COVID symptoms (fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, sleep disturbances, hair loss, reduced skin elasticity) persisted for more than 3 months in most respondents.
Conclusions: COVID-19 exerts a prolonged negative impact on the general and reproductive health of women of reproductive age. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive evaluation and rehabilitation strategies post-infection.
