Study involving 2.4m people reveals new long Covid symptoms , with up to 20 per cent of the infected developing long Covid, what are the symptoms and who is most likely to experience them?
Reduced libido, ejaculation difficulties and hair loss have been revealed as symptoms of long Covid, according to a study involving 2.4 million peoples’ health records.
A new UK study suggests those suffering from long Covid are battling a wider range of symptoms than what is officially recognised by the World Health Organisation.
The WHO defines long Covid as a set of 33 symptoms which usually develop within three months of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, with the symptoms lasting at least two months with no alternative explanation.
While studies into the illness vary, long Covid is thought to effect five to 20 per cent of people who have had Covid-19.
Anuradhaa Subramanian and her colleagues at the University of Birmingham believe to have uncovered more than 60 symptoms associated with long Covid.
“We explored the effect of Covid-19 on 115 symptoms, of which we found 62 symptoms to be statistically significantly associated with Covid-19 at 12 weeks [or more] after infection,” Ms Subramanian said.
“Some of these new symptoms, like reduced libido, sexual dysfunction and hair loss, are really new. They had not been attributed to Covid-19 in the longer term before.”
Ms Subramanian and her team analysed the health records of 486,149 people in the UK who tested positive for Covid-19 between January 2020 and April 2021 but weren’t hospitalised.
At the time, the alpha variant was the dominant strain.
The results were compared to 1.9 million people who hadn’t tested positive for Covid-19, with pairs being matched according to a range of factors, including age, sex, ethnicity, socio-economic status, smoking status, body mass index and any other health conditions.
Those who had tested positive for Covid-19 were more likely to report any of the study’s 62 symptoms for at least 12 weeks post-infection, including hair loss, reduced libido and ejaculation difficulties.
“In addition to premature, delayed and retrograde ejaculation [when semen enters the bladder instead of emerging from the penis], our definition includes painful ejaculation, late ejaculation and fear of ejaculation,” says Subramanian.
Co-author Shamil Haroon said when your body is in a state of stress, new hair growth can occur, which causes your existing hair to fall out.
“This is a condition called telogen effluvium,” he said.
“In this [condition] it’s not like a single patch of hair, but rather it’s kind of generalised hair loss, so that is one potential mechanism for Covid-related hair loss.”
Mr Haroon noted that issues with ejaculation and decreased libido are common in other chronic conditions, such as diabetes, but added that the symptoms post viral infection aren‘t well understood.
“People with other chronic illnesses frequently experience sexual dysfunction and we find the same with Covid-19, suggesting Covid-19 is a chronic illness,” he said.
Other new symptoms that were discovered in the study included sneezing, anosmia (loss of smell), shortness of breath at rest, a hoarse voice and fever.
The study also revealed three types of long Covid and who was more likely to develop the condition.
Most people, or 80 per cent of participants who had Covid-19, were affected by a broad range of symptoms, including fatigue, rash and pain.
Just over one in 10 or 14.2 per cent mainly experienced cognitive symptoms, including depression, anxiety, insomnia and brain fog, while 5.8 per cent of the participants suffered mainly from breathing problems, such as coughing and shortness of breath.
Women and people of Black Afro-Caribbean descent, mixed ethnicity, native American, Middle Eastern, or Polynesian origin were also more likely to develop long Covid, according to the study.
Other risk factors included being a smoker or former smoker, being overweight or obese and comorbidities such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and depression.

What exactly is causing Men Today to have
Less than Optimal Reserves of Sexual Energy?
Of course, all throughout history, very few people have had the kind of Sexual Virility and Longevity that many of the Ancient Chinese Emperors had.
And, this is especially true for average guys like you and me...
Why?
Because our Lifestyle is less healthy than ever before. We’ve become soft. Weak. We don’t do the things necessary for OPTIMAL T-Levels and Sexaul Performance. Things like:
Eating a healthy, minimally processed diet (made up of mostly organic and wild foods)
Drinking plenty of clean water (2 litres a day is good)
Keeping our day-today stress levels under control
Sleeping for 8 hours a night (deeply and without interruption)
Exercising daily (but not so hard it leaves you feeling drained)
And, to make matters worse…
Even if you start doing all the right things – such as eating perfectly, drinking 2 litres of water a day, meditating to lower your day-to-day stress levels and so on…
If you’re over 40, it could still take weeks, months and probably YEARS to get optimal reserves of Sexual Energy.
And, worse still... you may never end up with the same super high levels of Sexual Energy as someone who did all the “lifestyle stuff” perfectly from a young age.
Holy crap!
What’s a man to do if he wants to be an Alpha Stud in the bedroom, with Healthy Testosterone Levels, and MASSIVE Sexual Power and Performance… including the ability to make his woman Orgasm over and over again, every night of the week - and blow freakin’ HUGE loads?
What’s a man to do if he wants to feel truly confident in the bedroom?
Well - Eating Well, drinking less Alcohol, De-Stressing and doing all the other fairly obvious stuff will help.
But…
There’s something else you can do to support and build up your Reserves of Sexual Energy… causing you to have a ferocious ‘Sexual-Drive’ and the Raw Sexual Power required to give it to your woman so HARD…
…and so GOOD…
…she just can’t get enough of you!
Wanna know what it is?
Sure you do.
Here Are The 5 Huge Benefits Rock-Hard Formula Can Help You Support and Maintain...
Healthy, Optimal Testosterone Levels - supporting the kind of Incredible Sexual Power, Performance and CONFIDENCE most men will never have (prepare to give your woman truly GREAT SEX, night after night… satisfying her over and over again… so HARD her body-shakes, toes curl, and she SCREAMS your name!)Effortlessly High Libido - just like in your younger days (honestly, all it might take you to get fully aroused, and ‘ready to perform,’ is the sight of a hot woman or a whiff of her perfume... just don’t blame me if you get so full and engorged it’s UNCOMFORTABLE… and certainly don’t come crying to me if you start getting spontaneous urges to ‘get it on’ with your woman in public… because it’s a ‘problem’ many guys would kill to have!)
And, the really neat thing is…
The benefits you‘re gonna get from Rock-Hard Formula aren’t just SEXUAL.
You see…
Many herbal formulas and supplements contain herbs of very LOW quality.
Yet, in Rock-Hard Formula you get the HIGHEST quality, most potent Superherbs possible.
Now, here’s the key point:
The SuperHerbs in Rock-Hard Formula are 10:1 Extract. Herbal extracts are incredibly potent and way more powerful than normal raw herbs (which is what most supplements contain), because they are more concentrated in the active ingredients.
A 10:1 Extract means that it’s got 10 times as many active ingredients as the same amount of herbs in the unextracted form.
Meaning just 6 capsules of Rock-Hard Formula gives you the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of Raw (Unextracted) SuperHerbs.
The typical supplement you find on the market might contain 500mg of the unextracted SuperHerb, per serving.
With 6 capsules Rock-Hard Formula - you get 3,000mg of Extracted SuperHerbs, which is the equivalent of 30,000mg of UNEXTRACTED SuperHerbs.
In other words - one serving of Rock Hard contains 100X the Active Ingredients of a standard Herbal Supplement! Explaining why you get BIG RESULTS when you consume Rock-Hard Formula.
