Covid-19 vaccines do not cause disruption to women’s periods, although becoming infected with the virus can lead to changes, research suggests.
A study led by the University of Edinburgh found that while around one in five vaccinated women has reported changes to their periods after a Covid jab, the vaccine appears to have no effect when vaccinated and unvaccinated people are compared.
Women who have been infected with the Covid-19 virus are at increased risk of changes such as missed or heavier periods, or bleeding between periods, the study found.
