COVID-19-related stress has been linked to “silent” disruptions to ovulation in women without obvious changes to menstrual cycles, according to new research.

Nearly two-thirds of those studied experienced ovulatory disturbances during the pandemic compared to just one in 10 women from a similar study conducted over a decade ago, clinicians say.
