Thousands of women reporting menstrual problems post-Covid vaccination - what to look for
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has received thousands of reports linking the current coronavirus vaccines to a range of menstrual changes. Namely, 4,000 women have suffered period problems after getting their Covid jab. “Heavier than usual” bleeding or a delayed period are of the menstrual issues commonly reported in women aged between 30 and 49.
The MailOnline has reported that experts said the number of women suffering from period problems will “definitely” be higher because many don’t take the time to report them through official channel.
The alarming trend, first reported in the Sunday Times, raises legitimate questions about why menstrual changes are not included on the MHRA’s list of potential Covid jab side effects.
The regulator has responded to these concerns, stating that a review into the issue concluded that the symptoms were not happening more frequently in newly vaccinated women than the general population.
It said it would continue to “closely monitor” the situation.
