Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in addition to affecting the respiratory system, can also lead to extrapulmonary damage in the cardiovascular system, liver, kidney, neurological, intestinal, endocrine dysfunction, as well as disorders in the reproductive system. This manuscript reviews current information on the impact of coronavirus infection on women’s reproductive health. Evidence is presented on the likely mechanisms of abnormalities in the female reproductive system. Issues such as menstrual disorders after coronavirus infection, the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the hypothalamic-pituitary system are considered. Possible mechanisms of the effect of the virus on the endometrium in women are presented. Studies on the effect of SARS-CoV-2 virus on the course of pregnancy, the outcome of childbirth, and data on possible transplacental transmission from mother to fetus are reviewed.
