The women who received a vaccine saw an increase in cycle length of nearly one day for each dose, according to the study.
Dr. Jesus Samaniego is the chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in Houston, Texas and discusses the results of a recent study that found COVID-19 vaccines could temporarily impact the length of a woman's menstrual cycle. found that a small portion of women who received the COVID-19 vaccine saw a temporary change in the length of their menstrual cycles.
"Among women who received a two-dose vaccine, the first dose was associated with a 0.71-day increase in cycle length and the second dose with a 0.91-day increase. After adjustment for age, race and ethnicity, BMI, education, and other factors, the change in cycle length was still less than one day for each dose," theThe women who received both doses of a two-dose regimen within the same menstrual cycle saw their cycle length increase further—about two days on average.
Study authors noted that a woman’s menstrual cycle timing is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and it can be impacted by life, environment and health stressors. Upon further observation, menstrual cycle lengths did eventually return to normal, the study continued.
