Abstract

The pandemic of COVID 19 had tremendous impact on the physical, mental as well as the social well being of the people. It has affected the respiratory, cardiovascular as well as endocrine system. Menstruation which is a regular cyclical phenomenon seem in females of reproductive age group has also been affected because of COVID-19. A study was conducted in Dhiraj hospital to know about the affect of COVID on menstrual patterns of the women who were affected . At the end of the study we observed that the women who recovered from covid infection suffered from altered menstrual pattern in form of scanty menstrual blood flow and, prolonged cycles, few women experienced menorrhagia with excessive amount of blood loss. When followed up for 4 months almost all women regained their normal pattern of menstrual cycle suggesting that the covid 19 infection had transitory effect on menstrual pattern.
