Researchers Looking Into Link Between COVID Vaccine and Menstruation
NBC Chicago ^ | Apr 2021 | Lauren Petty

Posted on 05/03/2021 10:16:32 AM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Thousands of women have reported changes to their monthly cycle after getting the COVID vaccine.

Anne Thompson received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine April 12, on what should have been the last day of her period.

“I continued to have spotting the entire time. And now two weeks post getting the vaccine, I think it was three days ago, I started my period again,” Thompson said.

Her next period came a week a half early, prompting Thompson to wonder if the vaccine had somehow impacted her menstrual cycle.

One woman emailed NBC 5’s Lauren Petty and said she has been menopausal for nine years. She got her first Pfizer dose in March, started bleeding that night, and it continued for 10 days.

I honestly haven't had many of my patients complain about any irregularities in their menstruation,” said Dr. Elizabeth Yepez, a gynecologist at Rush University Medical Center.

However, the doctor believes women who have concerns should talk with their doctors and that research into a possible link is a good idea.

“I think that women's voices should be heard and like I said, I think there's definitely room within this to, you know delve into a little bit further, the side effects that women are having," Yepez said.

Menstrual cycles did not factor into clinical trials.

Should be noted that Covid virus itself also has similar effects associated with it.

If this is a problem, I bet it is much bigger in that there could be lot of women out there who haven’t yet reported it thinking it will get better over time.

Heavy periods after CoViD vaccines? Bleeding before periods? Post-menopausal bleeding? This could be due to low platelets. You may be at increased risk of haemorrhage or blood clots. Don’t ignore early signs, speak to ur GP today.

https://bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n958/rr-2
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40545

Many women across the world after receiving CoViD vaccines are complaining of irregularities in their menstrual bleeding; some experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), some bleeding before their periods were due or bleeding frequently (metrorrhagia/polymenorrhea), whereas some are complaining of postmenopausal bleeding.

As of 5th April 2021, there have been ~958 cases of post-vaccination menstrual irregularities, including vaginal haemorrhages, that were recorded in MHRA’s adverse event reports. There were twice more cases of menstrual irregularities with CoViD Vaccine AstraZeneca than Pfizer (643 vs 315 respectively) [1]. It is anticipated that the actual numbers of cases are much higher than the numbers recorded in the pharmacovigilance systems as many women in different cultural context may have felt uncomfortable to talk about it, may not have thought that it was vaccine-related, or may have not been encouraged by their clinicians to make an official report into the adverse events reporting system.

There have been recent reports of haemorrhage, blood clots and thrombocytopenia following administration of CoViD-19 vaccines that have raised concerns over the safety of genetic vaccines for people with pre-existing coagulation disorders or those on certain medications. Regulatory bodies have also issued warnings to the patients and healthcare professionals to be vigilant and seek prompt medical assistance if they experienced typical symptoms of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a potentially fatal clot in the brain [2,3]. European Medicines Agency has also revised the summary of product characteristics and listed thrombocytopenia (very low platelets) as a ‘common’ side effect (i.e., 1 in 100 to 1 in 10) of Vaxzevria, i.e., the CoViD vaccine AstraZeneca [4]. The pharmacovigilance data also suggests that thrombocytopenia is also a frequent observation followed by mRNA CoViD vaccines such as Pfizer or Moderna.

The ‘heavy menstrual bleeding’ has been previously reported in females with underlying platelets disorders [5]. It is plausible that the vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia may be an explanation for the recent incidences of heavy menstrual bleeding experienced by women in different countries after the CoViD-19 vaccination. The significant loss of blood in many women may lead to severe anaemia, further exacerbate thrombocytopenia, and therefore may significantly increase the risk of haemorrhages and clots.

Clinicians and front-line healthcare workers are advised to encourage women to report heavy menstrual bleeding or other extraordinary bleeding events post-vaccination formally into the vaccine adverse events reporting system and seek prompt medical advice. Public health agencies and regulatory authorities are also requested to investigate these incidences and issue further warnings, as this can, possibly be an early sign of potentially fatal vaccine-induced prothrombotic thrombocytopenia leading to rare CVST events in younger women. There may be some women with pre-existing conditions or those on certain medications that may be at increased risk of experiencing post-vaccination severe adverse events and early warnings will help saving lives.

“Thousands of women have reported changes to their monthly cycle after getting the COVID vaccine.”
*****************************************************************
Inquiring minds want to know how many thousands of women who did not get the COVID vaccine had changes to their monthly cycle.

And HOW DARE women have changes in their monthly cycle! /sarc

Women young enough to be having periods shouldn’t be getting a shot of God-knows-what into their bodies.

Off topic, but shouldn't it be referred to as "personstruation?"
