Hair loss and sexual dysfunction have been revealed to be symptoms of long Covid, according to new research published in the British Medical Journal in recent weeks. Long Covid has a much more extensive list of symptoms than originally thought, a survey has discovered.
The survey analysed the health records of over 500,000 people who had been infected with Covid to unearth common symptoms of long Covid. Among the symptoms were three male-specific symptoms - hair loss, reduced libido and difficulty ejaculating.
These symptoms could be impacting men’s confidence and their sex lives, warns one GP. The findings come as Google searches asking ‘does Covid cause erectile dysfunction’ have skyrocketed since the research was published at the end of July.
