Abstract
During any crisis, whether it is health, economic, or environmental, people are more likely to experience stress, anxiety, and other psychological issues that jeopardize their general well-being. The Coronavirus, or COVID-19, is considered a global pandemic that affects millions of persons. Many people of different ages have significantly suffered from mental illness as a result of COVID-19, especially women affected vulnerable. As per the report, the death rates of men have doubled in comparison with women; this epidemic shows a bigger influence on the health of women than men. Even quarantine impacts make the females afraid, bewildered, and feel alone, which is terrible for them, as it also disturbs their health, such as pregnancy, sexual life, postpartum depression, etc. This review article reveals the COVID-19 impact on the health of women and finds a way to prevent and manage the health implications in women at various periods throughout their lives.
