Can Vaccines Like Hepatitis A And Tetanus Shots Delay Menstruation ?
Hello, I m travelling to Mexico and received the recommended shots (Hep A and a mixture of 3 vaccines including tetanus ) a few weeks ago. It was right before my period was due and it has been late since. I m 28 years old, not on the pill, but use condoms every-time. I had experienced slight irregularities in my period before, but never more than a week. Could the vaccines cause this delay in my menstrual cycle?
hi;
Normally no vaccines cause delay in period as periods are regulated by hormones & vaccines are preventive medicines or dead virus of the same disease which trigger immunity of our body so as such there is no relation.Still if you are sexually active you please do pregnancy test & if negative you can take pills prescribed by a doctor to regularise it .Also excitement & mental stress play an important role in periods.
thanks
