To evaluate whether or not immunization against COVID-19 is associated with changes in the duration and frequency of the menstrual cycle.
This prospective analysis included the menstrual cycle data of 154 females after COVID-19 vaccination from August 2021 to March 2022. This study included Pakistani females aged 18 to 45 years and who had taken at-least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination. After two months of COVID vaccine the participants were interviewed again about the timing and duration of their menstrual cycle. The increase in menstrual length for >eight days was labelled as increased menstrual cycle duration.
Mean age of participants was 33.53±8.52 years. Among 154, 113 (73.4%) were married. Among 154 females, menstrual abnormality was reported by 59 (38.3%) females, increase in cycle duration was reported by 25 (16.2%) patients and decrease by 22 (14.3%), increase in number of bleeding days by 20 (13%) females and decrease by 15 (9.7%), increase in pain intensity was reported by 19 (12.3%) females and decrease by 17 (11.0%), increased intensity of blood flow was reported by 20 (13.0%) patients and decreased intensity by 19 (12.3%) females.
COVID-19 vaccination is not associated with menstrual abnormalities in a significant number of females.
评估接种新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)疫苗是否与月经周期的时长和频率变化有关。
这项前瞻性分析纳入了2021年8月至2022年3月期间154名女性接种COVID-19疫苗后的月经周期数据。本研究纳入了年龄在18至45岁之间且至少接种过一剂COVID-19疫苗的巴基斯坦女性。在接种COVID疫苗两个月后,再次询问参与者月经周期的时间和时长。月经长度增加超过八天被标记为月经周期时长增加。
参与者的平均年龄为33.53±8.52岁。在154名参与者中,113名(73.4%)已婚。在154名女性中,59名(38.3%)女性报告有月经异常,25名(16.2%)患者报告周期时长增加,22名(14.3%)报告周期时长减少,20名(13%)女性报告出血天数增加,15名(9.7%)报告出血天数减少,19名(12.3%)女性报告疼痛强度增加,17名(11.0%)报告疼痛强度减少,20名(13.0%)患者报告血流强度增加,19名(12.3%)女性报告血流强度减少。
大量女性接种COVID-19疫苗与月经异常无关。
