Long Covid not only has a serious impact on physical but also mental health. People find it difficult to go back to work or have a social life as before. Long Covid can have major consequences for families and also for society. Many have reported complications during physical relationships with their partner.
dr. Om Prakash, faculty of psychiatry at the Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences, Delhi, said Covid-19 has affected almost all organs of the body. As a result, both the physical and mental activities of a person are affected.
People suffering from long-term Covid symptoms face problems such as anxiety, stress, trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) while indulging in a physical relationship. In addition, a sudden development of trauma or stress is also seen.
dr. Omprakash says some patients have also seen these symptoms appear during intercourse in one of the partners affected by Covid-19. It also often happens that anxiety, stress or depression are not usually seen in normal circumstances, but as soon as a physical or mental activity is started, the symptoms of trauma appear immediately. Patients affected by Covid-19 can also feel the symptoms with normal physical activity, such as standing up, sitting, sleeping, eating, watching movies.
This is found in the meta-analysis, published in the sexology section of the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The analysis also included the database of 7 studies conducted in the Americas, China, Italy, Turkey, the UK and Northern Ireland. After a survey of 64 articles and 6,929 people, it was found that people’s ability to have sex has declined as a result of Covid-19.
dr. Omprakash further stated that the long Covid symptoms can last for about 2 to 3 months. And gradually a decrease will be seen.
