62 surprising new Long Covid symptoms including low sex drive and hair loss reported

Surprising new symptoms have been revealed for those suffering from Long Covid. Among the list of after-effects of Covid-19 are hair loss, a low sex drive, fatigue and brain fog.

More than two million people were involved in the study, following which, researchers discovered that Long Covid sufferers have experienced a much wider set of symptoms, more than 60 in fact, including sexual dysfunction and alopecia. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Medicine, were reported by Cornwall Live.

According to the study, patients with a primary care record of infection with the virus that causes Covid-19 reported 62 symptoms much more frequently 12 weeks after initial infection than those who hadn’t contracted the virus. Anonymised electronic health records of 2.4 million people in the UK were analysed by researchers from the University of Birmingham alongside a team of doctors and researchers across England.
