Introduction
If menstruation does not resume after recovery from a positive coronavirus infection, and symptoms such as nausea and vomiting are present, along with a history of unprotected sexual intercourse, pregnancy may be the cause, which is generally considered a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the illness is severe, the viral invasion may disrupt the body's endocrine system, affecting normal menstrual cycles, which would generally be considered an abnormal condition.
"Testing positive" generally refers to a positive diagnosis of novel coronavirus infection, while "auntie" is a colloquial term for menstruation. Not having a menstrual period for a month may be normal or abnormal, depending on the underlying cause. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Normal
If menstruation does not return after recovering from a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and general fatigue are present, and there has been unprotected sexual intercourse in the past, this may indicate pregnancy, which is generally considered a normal physiological occurrence.
2. Abnormal
If the novel coronavirus infection was severe, the viral invasion may disrupt the body's endocrine system, thereby affecting normal menstrual cycles—this is generally considered an abnormal condition.
When the above situations occur, patients are advised to seek appropriate medical treatment under the guidance of a physician to prevent disruption of daily life.
