Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting people around the world with terrible impacts on health, economy, social and psychological aspects and so on, but in this paper, I would like to focus attention on how this situation is worsening the female world. Although men have been shown to have a higher risk factor due to the presence of testosterone, women are severely affected due to:
Health Impact
• Reduction of life expectancy in terms of delay on necessary oncological checks and consequent progression of related pathologies;
• Delay/Stop in taking up the battle against the infertility which can result in potential depression;
• A significant increase in fears for both, the woman herself and the incoming creature.
Social Impact:
The ability to resilience and manages critical situations have always been a female peculiarity but we cannot fail to consider objective data such as:
• Reduced chances to save the job position after a severe economic crisis;
• Enormous stress for the dual role of mother and worker aggravated by the distance learning (DAD)
In this work I will bring to the attention my experience in this emergency period as a gynaecologist doctor specialized in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF); as a mother and as a woman living this situation in the Italian Society.
