Background: COVID-19 was a global epidemic that led to numerous problems, including menstrual disorders in women. The present study aimed to assess the frequency of menstrual disorders and related factors in women with COVID-19.
Materials and Methods: The descriptive study was conducted on 80 women with COVID-19 in the first six months of 2022. Information was collected using a telephone questionnaire and data analysis was performed in SPSS software (version 16) using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and analysis (chi-square and independent t-test).
Results: Based on the results, 43.7% of women had menstrual disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these women, 26.3% and 17.5% of cases considered the disorder to be related to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and COVID-19 infection, respectively. Massive bleeding (17.5%) and low-volume bleeding (7.5%) were the most reported disorders, and Sinopharm (76.3%) and AstraZeneca (15.0%) vaccines were the most used vaccines. The results of statistical tests did not demonstrate a significant relationship between the presence of disorder and other variables (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Menstrual disorders increased during COVID-19 compared to before. Considering the resolution of this disorder after several months, it is recommended that if the disorder is not resolved, it should be referred for identification and follow-up in time to reduce the dangerous consequences of women's diseases.
