JawaPos.com – Since the launch of the Covid-19 vaccine, several side effects or Post Immunization Adverse Events (AEFI) that have occurred are usually fever, local pain, and headaches. However, recent research in the UK has revealed the impact on menstrual cycle disorders after the Covid-19 vaccination.
According to the study, more than 30,000 women said their menstrual cycles changed somewhat after getting the Covid-19 vaccine, according to reports Sky News. The report shows that many women experience menstrual disorders.
Reported from Science Alert, Monday (20/9), a Reproductive Immunologist from Imperial College London, dr. Victoria Male, writing in the British Medical Journal that although this change is safe and not too worrying, researchers have investigated why this is happening. In the US, the National Institutes of Health invested $1.67 million to understand how the Covid-19 vaccine affects menstruation.
What is the impact?
Male stated that the menstruation experienced could be heavier or heavier. Or vice versa that is delayed. It occurs due to an immune response, and poses no danger to a person’s body.
“This robust study of possible adverse reactions remains critical to the overall success of the vaccination programme. One important lesson is that the effect of medical interventions on menstruation should not be taken into account in future research,” Male wrote.
Writing in The Telegraph, Caroline Criado-Perez, author of Invisible Women, said like most clinical studies, the Covid-19 vaccine trial did not investigate the effects of the menstrual cycle.
There is no reason to be significantly concerned about menstrual changes and the long-term impact.
“Because most of those who reported post-vaccine changes stated that normality occurred quickly,” Male said.
