Hormonal Change in Virus Corona in Iraq

Abstract

In this research, the changes that may occur to the sex hormones when infected with Covid-19 and their effect on estrogen and progesterone and on the immune response were discussed, and whether the infection has an effect on the menstrual cycle, and how the effect can be reduced, if any, and What is the duration of the effect. It is not surprising that some women suffer from menstrual irregularities to longer cycles or a change in bleeding patterns. So far, the most changes have been due to the pressure of the epidemic, especially (the protracted epidemic), stress and changing behavior, Menstrual disorders can be reduced by reducing stress and tension. Estrogen plays an important role in the female immune response against the viral infection on the immune system, because there is not yet enough research on its effect on covid (estrogen can control infection).

Progesterone is an important factor in promoting faster recovery, as it contributes to the antiviral activity of SARS-COV-2, its association with ACE2 and immune regulation.

In the end, the Corona virus led to several psychological and physiological changes, but most of the changes are temporary and do not cause concern.
