COVID-19 vaccine link to periods: We speak to an expert to find out why some people have noticed a difference in their menstrual cycle after having the vaccine
'It has been estimated that up to 25 percent of women could experience some disregulation in their period following their Covid vaccine, although research is still in its early stages,' Dr.Khan explains.
Below, he answers some of the most-asked questions on the COVID-19 vaccine and its link to changes in a woman's menstrual cycle. It is worth noting though, that despite new information on the short-term impact the vaccine might have on a woman's period, medical professionals are still urging women of all ages to come forward for their vaccine when they are called, explaining that the benefits of being protected against COVID-19 far outweigh any risks.
'It is clear that, in most instances, any changes to the usual menstrual pattern are temporary, so if the changes continue over two or more cycles, it is worth having this checked out with a GP or gynaecologist, to rule out any other potential issues.'Anya is a freelance editor and journalist with a penchant for coats, shoes and handbags.
