Abstract
Aim: COVID-19 disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Vaccination is the best way to deal with this disease. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive interpretation of the effects of the COVID-19 vaccination on the menstrual cycle of women of reproductive age and postmenopausal women in order to eliminate rumors and concerns about menstrual abnormalities after vaccination.Subject and method: Since COVID-19 vaccination, women of reproductive age presented changes in their menstrual cycle. In this review, we examine the results of 10 reports, the impact of the COVID-19 vaccination on the menstrual cycle of women in different regions of the world (North Africa and the Middle East, the Netherlands, Washington, England, Pakistan, America, Northern, California, Italy, Iran and China).Results: Reports indicate that women exposed to the COVID-19 vaccine may experience menstrual disturbances, including menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, and may also experience postmenopausal bleeding.Conclusions: Overall, a significant difference was observed between the injection of the COVID-19 vaccine and menstrual disorders. But worrying about these side effects is unnecessary, because most of the reports we reviewed said that usually only minor menstrual abnormalities were observed, any changes in the menstrual cycle appeared to be short-lived.
