About

An increased number of women has been infected by COVID-19 in the last 2 years SARS-CoV-2 infection could have a role in potential disturbances on hormon levels and human fertility Has not completely demonstrated COVID-19 effects on female reproductive function and further research can be undertaken.

The proposed multicenter study will be simple and rapid, and attractive for the scientific community.

Full description

COVID-19 virus is classified as a respiratory disease that drastically changed our daily life and perspective (1) can be mainly transmitted via respiratory droplets, however, there are recently published reports suggested its ability to transmit via sexual intercourse, assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments, pregnancy, and nursing. ART specialists should be precautious, carefully following the situation while contributing by sharing novel evidence to counsel our patients (2).

However, there are no comprehensive reviews to explore the association between COVID-19 and female fertility comprehensively.Its of major importance to provide in-depth research explaining the underlying mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its impact on human reproductive organs and fertility (3).

Ovarian reserve is a key determinant of female fertility. In this study we observe the potential effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the principal indicators of ovarian reserve function as anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH); basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), basal luteinising hormone (LH) basal oestradiol (E2) antral follicle count (AFC).

Questions regarding the potential risks of sexual transmission during intercourse and/or application of ART, vertical transmission (throughout pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding), the health of pregnant and postpartum women, and fetal or postnatal health problems of neonates/children remain largely unanswered (4,5).
