Adding to the misery of long-term sufferers of COVID already plagued by fatigue and brain fog, researchers have also noted low sex drive, hair loss, and erectile dysfunction.
A study published in the journal Nature Medicine by scientists from the University of Birmingham in England examined the anonymized medical records of more than 2 million people in the U.K. They found a much wider range of symptoms of COVID infection than previously thought.
In patients with a primary care record of COVID infection, they found the virus was associated with 62 symptoms much more frequently twelve weeks after sufferers’ initial infection than those who had not contracted the virus.
