  This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the post-COVID-19 effects on
female fertility in patients with a history of severe COVID-19 infection. Data
were collected from 340 patients who had previously experienced severe COVID-19
symptoms and sought medical assistance at private clinics and fertility centers
in various provinces of Iraq. A comparative control group of 280 patients, who
had not contracted COVID-19 or had mild cases, was included. The study assessed
ovarian reserve, hormonal imbalances, and endometrial health in the
post-recovery phase. The findings revealed a significant decrease in ovarian
reserve, hormonal disturbances, and endometrial abnormalities among patients
with a history of severe COVID-19 infection compared to the control group. This
in-depth investigation sheds light on the potential long-term impacts of severe
COVID-19 on female fertility. The results emphasize the need for further
research and targeted interventions to support women affected by post-COVID-19
fertility issues. Understanding these effects is crucial for providing
appropriate medical care and support to women on their reproductive journey
after recovering from severe COVID-19.
