Does Hepatitis B Vaccine Cause Irregular Menstruation?
Question: Can the Hepatitis B vaccine cause irregularities with a women's menstrual periods?
Brief Answer:
No it shouldn't affect a woman's menstrual cycle
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and I would be happy to answer your question today.
The Hepatitis B vaccine is just made of pieces of DNA that resemble Hepatitis B, which causes your body to create immune cells against the virus. It has no effects on your body's hormones or your metabolism. Therefore, it should not affect your menstrual cycle.
There are many other factors that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle including stress, weight changes, changes in schedule or traveling, as well as other medical and hormonal problems. A thorough history and some blood tests will usually be able to figure out the cause.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. If you have any further questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes,
Dr. Brown
