(Natural News)
\n For women, a change in their period isn\u2019t listed as a side effect of vaccinations. But recent figures from the U.K.\u2019s drug regulator reveal that nearly 4,000 women have\u00a0reported having problems with their period after being vaccinated.
\nThe report, obtained by\u00a0The Sunday Times, showed the\u00a0Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency\u00a0(MHRA) received 2,734 reports of menstrual cycle changes after getting the AstraZeneca vaccine. In addition, the agency received 1,158 reports related to the Pfizer vaccine and 66 reports related to the Moderna vaccine. Most reports were from women aged 30 to 49 and were compiled up to May 17.
\nAccording to the agency, actual figures may potentially be higher. Given the condition isn\u2019t included as a potential side effect, many women may have period problems \u2014 including cycle changes and heavier-than-usual bleeding \u2014 that are unreported.
\nThis side effect wasn\u2019t detected during clinical trials for the vaccines, as the sample size only included thousands of people. As the vaccine was rolled out to millions of people, this side effect \u2014 and potentially many others \u2014 became apparent.
\nUK regulator dismisses findings, says reports aren\u2019t enough
\nThe MHRA dismissed the reports of increased period problems, saying that women are at no \u201cincreased risk\u201d of\u00a0these after vaccination. The U.K. regulator also stated that there is no need to add period problems as a possible side effect of vaccination.
\nSarah Branch, the agency\u2019s director of vigilance and risk management, said the reported cases aren\u2019t enough to include period problems as a potential post-vaccination risk.
\n\u201cThe number of reports is low in relation to the number of women who have had the vaccine to date and the background rate of menstrual disorders generally,\u201d said Branch, adding that the agency will monitor additional reports for \u201cpotential signals.\u201d
\nIt\u2019s worth noting that\u00a0menstrual problems\u00a0were included in the agency\u2019s weekly report of side effects of the vaccine. But for Victoria Male, an immune expert at\u00a0Imperial College London, this report may not reflect the actual figure of women suffering from period problems as a vaccination side effect.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s definitely true that not everyone will be reporting any menstrual changes they have noticed to Yellow Card [the MHRA\u2019s scheme for people to report suspected side effects] simply because not everyone knows that it exists and that they can file a report,\u201d she added.
\nMale said that women have contacted her to report about period changes after vaccination, but she added that no definitive link has been established. (Related:\u00a0CDC data show kids most likely have herd immunity from coronavirus, but vaccine trials still ongoing anyway.)
\n\u201cThe kinds of things they are telling me about, mostly periods that are heavier or later than usual, are very similar to the reports we are seeing in Yellow Card.\u201d
\nKatie Khan, a 39-year-old resident of London, said that her menstrual cycle became erratic after being injected with her first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. She told the\u00a0U.S. Sun that her period became much heavier and much more painful after getting her first shot.
\n\u201c[It\u2019s] not the cycle I\u2019m used to,\u201d she explained.
\nThe Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, a U.K.-based medical association, issued a warning on the matter, saying that women who experience \u201cunusual bleeding\u201d should contact their health care provider.
\nIn the U.S., women have also reported period changes after vaccinations. These were similar to those in the U.K., from periods coming in earlier or later than usual to heavy or unusual bleeding.
