France urges women to report menstrual changes after Covid jabs. French health authorities have invited women who suspect their menstrual cycles were affected by Covid-19 vaccines to report any changes on a government website.<\/p>\n

The suggestion from the National Medicine Safety Agency<\/a> (ANSM) is part of efforts to probe possible side-effects of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which have been administered 70 million times to women in France.<\/p>\n

In a statement late Tuesday, the ANSM urged women to give “as much detailed information as possible in the declaration form” which has been made available on the health ministry\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

It said that menstrual changes had already been reported to doctors by around 11,000 women, mostly involving “non-serious” symptoms including erratic periods, or bleeding that was heavier or weaker than usual.<\/p>\n

These were mostly short-term effects that appeared after being jabbed, but no firm link has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Research published last week in the journal Science Advances found that 42 percent of respondents to a survey reported heavier periods after vaccination.<\/p>\n

It also found that some postmenopausal women and transgender men on gender-affirming hormones reported unexpected bleeding.<\/p>\n

The survey of 39,000 people was conducted by researchers at the US-based University of Illinois and Washington University School of Medicine in April 2021.<\/p>\n

Separate research using data from nearly 4,000 individuals by the Oregon Health & Science University showed in January that on average vaccinated women had a slight delay of almost a day in the onset of their period compared to the unvaccinated.<\/p>\n

The slight increase in menstrual cycle length was not judged to be clinically significant, according to the lead author who published her findings in “Obstetrics & Gynecology.”<\/p>\n

Reports of menstrual changes were seized on by people opposed to the Covid-19 vaccination programmes implemented in many countries last year. Experts say misinformation was rampant on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
