The side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have garnered significant public attention. Recent research has revealed that many women experience menstrual irregularities after vaccination, and postmenopausal women may even face an increased risk of vaginal bleeding, which could indicate precancerous lesions or early-stage endometrial cancer.

Wei-Ling Chou, a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, explained that when vaccines trigger an immune response, those with robust immune systems can quickly alleviate symptoms, while individuals with weaker immunity may experience more severe symptoms. In such cases, complementary TCM or acupuncture can aid in regulating the body, maintaining immune balance, and providing relief.

Unexpected Vaginal Bleeding in Postmenopausal Women

On Sept. 22, Science Advances published a study in which a research team observed the conditions of 21,925 menopausal or perimenopausal women in Norway following their COVID-19 vaccinations. About half of the participants reported experiencing vaginal bleeding within four weeks of receiving either the first or second vaccine dose.
