Fatigue, pain and shortness of breath are just some of the symptoms that occur in those infected with COVID-19. It turns out that after a long illness there is another consequence that affects women - changes in the monthly cycle.

On social media, some ladies say that after infection their menstruation has become irregular. Others complain of  unusually large blood clots.

Lauren Wasser almost lost her life in 2012 in a severe illness she blames on a tampon, with a lawsuit now pending.
