The UK Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has received reports of changes to menstrual cycle patterns with 2,734 reports by women who received the AstraZeneca vaccine, 1,158 related to the Pfizer jab, and 66 linked to the Moderna vaccine, as of May 17.
The most reported issue was heavier bleeding than usual.
Dr Pat O’Brien, vice president for membership at the RCOG, said:
“It’s important to remember these side effects are mild and should not deter women from having the vaccine when they are called. Many women will experience a temporary change in their periods from time to time during their lives. And right now, many women in their 20s and 30s are having the Covid vaccine. So it seems inevitable that in some women these two events will coincide by chance”, reports the Metro.
