Screenshot showing the following text: "When the COVID-19 pandemic began, few of us anticipated the lingering aftermath that would emerge in its wake. As a researcher in women's health, I found myself drawn into an unexpected and urgent area of study: the intersection of long COVID and menstruation".

Long COVID is associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, but not impaired ovarian function, according to a paper in Nature Communications. The study identifies potential mechanisms for this relationship that could inform future therapeutic targets. go.nature.com/4gr39F1 #medsky 🧪
This is figure 4, which shows ovarian sex hormones across the menstrual cycle in those with and without long COVID.
