The pandemic launched on the planet will have severe consequences, expressed both in destabilizing the economic situation in the world and in revising the relationship between policies in the field of policies, the media tube has long been. However, COVID-19 represents a much greater danger of those disorders that are able to develop as a result of infection caused by infection in the body of already suffering patients.
The consequences of coronavirus are the topic of this article: about what problems the transferred disease for healing and with what consequences will have to face former patients after recovery, will tell the editorial board 24cm.
Re-infection
Against the background of numerous negative information coming from different parts of the world regarding the number of covid-19 and the dead because of the complications, it costs to start with good news for people whose body managed to cope with SARS-COV-2.
Coronavirus: Symptoms and Treatment
Repeated infection of the passing fear is not worth it. At least, it is this opinion that doctors and scientists who engaged in the study of those consequences that are capable of carrying the suffering disease.
Responding to the pathogen that fell into the body, the human immune system begins to produce antibodies necessary for the resistance to the distribution of the infection, which remain in the body and after getting rid of the coronavirus.
Therefore, experts are confident that the risk of re-infection SARS-COV-2 at the recovered extremely small. Moreover, it is true not only for patients whose disease flowed in severe form. For those who were overwhelmed, whom the symptoms manifested themselves only in the form of a light rudeness and cough, without serious lesions of respiratory organs, immunity to coronavirus infection is also produced.
Reduced lung functional
In addition to the joyful news on the weak probability of the recurrence of the disease, the physicians also called the consequences of coronavirus for the body of patients who have successfully undergone treatment. Among the main difficulties with which those who had surrendered in the future are faced - problems with breathing associated with the defeat of the lower respiratory tract, which infection "attacks" in the first place.So, according to the staff of the Center for Infectious Diseases of the Hong Kong Hospital named after the Princess Margaret, among the first faced COVID-19, had a difficulty breathing under the improvement of loads. For example, when quick walking.
The appearing shortness of breath complicates the fulfillment of the habitual action from coronavirus infection - according to Chinese physicians, 2-3 people per dozen suffering from the disease due to the physical condition become unable to lead the former lifestyle. There are also decrease in the lung functional by 20-30% in individual recovered.
Based on the said, doctors tend to need for all infection caused by SARS-COV-2, additional therapy designed to restore the state of the lungs. Also, "healed" is recommended to perform aerobic exercises aimed at strengthening the cardiovascular system.
Among the optimal methods, allowing both to restore the pulmonary function and improve the condition of the heart and blood vessels, doctors call swimming.
Fibrosis of the lungs
Also, Chinese doctors who studied the first contaminated coronavirus, as later by their colleagues from other countries, noted that after recovery, computed tomography in some cases showed the presence of darkened areas in the lungal image. A similar "effect of matte glass", as a rule, indicates damage to the internal organs - in the cases under consideration it is about defeating the lungs, including the development of pneumonia and pneumonitis.
When Koronavirus goes to a decline: expert predictions
The doctors who studied the pictures expressed the suggestion of the risk of fibrosis development at the COVID-19 in severe. In this case, the pathological process in the lungs there is an arrangement of scar tissue, which prevents the normal intake of oxygen into the blood.
As a result, a person begins to experience signs of hypoxemia - his shortness of breath and ailments are tormented, the respiratory frequency increases, dry cough and periodic dizziness appear. The lack of oxygen also negatively affects the general condition and human performance.
The main problem is that fibrosis of the lungs in neglected cases is not amenable to treatment - modified fabrics are not able to recover. Therefore, it is important to diagnose the lung damage on time - in the early stages, the growth of connective tissue in the walls of the pulmonary alvetol can be stopped and even stopped, although the latter seems to be difficult.
Another thing is that for the final conclusions of information is not enough. And to say for sure whether the pulmonary fibrosis will be developed further or the symptoms will subsequently disappear, doctors are not ready. But it is still not worth excluding the probability of negative development of the situation, observations of patients with dimming in the lungs as a result will be given to understand the final picture.
Infertility in men
Also, at an early stage of studying COVID-19, experts of the Center for Reproductive Medicine of the Chinese Hospital "Tongji" suggested that the men who have suffered a coronavirus infection there is a risk to remain fruitless.Conclusions Experts of the Center made on the basis of the similarity of the SARS-COV-2 genetic structure with coronavirus causing atypical pneumonia. Infections, inflammatory processes in the tissues of the testicles were observed, which doctors considered the provoked pathogen.
The assumptions of doctors about the risk of the development of the orchita - inflammation of the testicles capable of reduced the amount of sperm and lead a man to infertility, was not confirmed. The results of the examination of the dead patients with COVID-19 showed the absence in the reproductive organs of the virus.
However, as noted in the University of Sechenovsky, with atypical pneumonia, the situation was similar to: despite the inflammation discovered in a number of cases, not a single infertility case was recorded due to the suffered infection.
By the way, pregnant women should also not once again worry - the results of the research showed that the fetus coronavirus does not threaten, and is not present in neither in breast milk, nor in amniotic fluid.
Depressive states
The consequences of coronavirus are unpleasant can not only for the human body. According to doctors, there are sometimes depressive states with recovered, the reason for which becomes like the proximity of their own death and, in some cases, loss due to diseases of loved ones.
In such cases, it is recommended to apply for psychological help to a specialist. A close to the former patient should try to provide support to support and surround the attention.
Brain damage
Scientists report that after the victory over Coronavirus, young people often complain about fatigue and dizziness, and the elderly is fixed to disorientation in space and confusion. Russian scientists explain this by the fact that the coronavirus can seriously damage the brain.
Scientist-virologist RAS Felix Ershov noted that the infection, as well as influenza and herpes viruses, can cause the fracture of whole areas of the brain. He stressed that the risk group includes the elderly, for them, due to violations in the brain, the consequences of coronavirus can be strokes, heart attacks and meningitis.
