Despite this, uncertainty exists about the advice that women and people who menstruate should receive in relation to the expected impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection, long COVID or COVID-19 vaccination on menstruation. Furthermore, the mechanisms leading to these reported menstrual changes are poorly understood. This review evaluates the published literature on COVID-19 and its impact on menstrual bleeding, discussing the strengths and limitations of these studies. We present evidence consistent with SARS-CoV-2 infection and long COVID having an association with changes in menstrual bleeding parameters and that the impact of COVID vaccination on menstruation appears less significant. An overview of menstrual physiology and known causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is provided before discussing potential mechanisms which may underpin the menstrual disturbance reported with COVID-19, highlighting areas for future scientific study. Finally, consideration is given to the effect that menstruation may have on COVID-19, including the impact of the ovarian sex hormones on acute COVID-19 severity and susceptibility and reported variation in long COVID symptoms across the menstrual cycle. Understanding the current evidence and addressing gaps in our knowledge in this area are essential to inform public health policy, direct the treatment of menstrual disturbance and facilitate development of new therapies, which may reduce the severity of COVID-19 and improve quality of life for those experiencing long COVID.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/cs20220280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]],"date-time":"2024-02-19T08:01:10Z","timestamp":1708329670000},"page":"153-171","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["COVID-19 and abnormal uterine bleeding: potential associations and mechanisms"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"138","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1560-2840","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqueline\u00a0A.","family":"Maybin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Centre for Reproductive Health, Institute for Regeneration and Repair, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianne","family":"Watters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Centre for Reproductive Health, Institute for Regeneration and Repair, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bethan","family":"Rowley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Centre for Reproductive Health, Institute for Regeneration and Repair, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine\u00a0A.","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Centre for Reproductive Health, Institute for Regeneration and Repair, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gemma\u00a0C.","family":"Sharp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2School of Psychology, University of Exeter, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Alvergne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3ISEM, Univ Montpellier, CNRS, IRD, Montpellier, France"},{"name":"4School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, Oxford, U.K."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024021913010132800_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"691","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyab239","article-title":"The COVID-19 pandemic and the menstrual cycle: research gaps and opportunities","volume":"51","author":"Sharp","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
