#Menstrual changes in those who received a #CovidVaccine (3,635), caught #COVID (1,802), both (1,354) or neither (5,788)...

🦠 Infected more likely to report shorter cycles, missed periods, heavier periods, spotting

đź’‰Vaccinated only: no difference

Previous studies have found menstrual changes associated with vaccination, but these have been small and short-lived, so it's perhaps not surprising that a retrospective survey design can't detect them. 2/

This is the first study I know of that attempts to directly compare menstrual effects of COVID vaccination and infection, finding that infection is likely to be more of a concern. 3/3

Now online and free of charge at #PNAS: results from a #worldwide #CitizenScience project on the #menstrual cycle "When fertile, women seek status via prestige but not dominance". (1/n) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
Biological predictors of status are contested, partly because they have implications for sex differences & gender equality. Many investigations look at male status & testosterone (see work by Pranj Mehta, @nm_grebe, etc). Less is known about female status & other hormones (2/n)
My lab recruited women from 14 countries and 4 world regions to understand how the menstrual cycle and fertility affected status-seeking & self-esteem. Using an online daily diary in formR (created by @rubenarslan), participants tracked their menstrual cycle & psychology. (3/n)

@katystoll Here are recent studies focused on menstrual cycle changes after Covid vaccination....won't fit in one tweet so I'll make a thread...🧵

I haven't read all of these yet.

By @sbaroncohen et. al I feel this research study has implication on #autisticgirls #gender #ROGD #trans #detrans In my #Autism clinic it has
been common to hear about #puberty #Dysphoria
Menstrual problems, #PMDD #PCOS & #endometriosis What is really nice for clinicians is when we see research that backs up our clinical work. In consideration Of #gender distress #dysphoria #ROGD we should be considering this research ImageImageImage

@SimonoffBob @Hawknest24 Hey! Check this out 👉 This paper proposes mechanisms by which #PMS may be part of a broader set of #infectious illnesses that are exacerbated by cyclic changes in immunosuppression, which are induced by cyclic changes in estrogen and progesterone: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17468… Image
@SimonoffBob @Hawknest24 Our own team’s work has focused greatly on how nuclear receptors that control #hormone expression (like alpha-thyroid, VDR etc) also express key genes associated with the human immune response + innate immunity towards infection: microbeminded.com/wp-content/upl… ImageImage
@SimonoffBob @Hawknest24 Here we show that VDR receptor expression changes during the #menstrual cycle - especially in the cycling endometrium 👉 That, in turn, alters how innate immune peptides under VDR control allow a woman’s body to manage infection/microbiome dysbiosis: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19758…

Menstruation is a natural process, but can be challenging for millions of women worldwide. My new paper in Global Public Health explores the role of caste/ethnicity in #menstrual knowledge and practices in Nepal. Join me in a thread... bit.ly/2JiuLjt #MenstruationMatters
First, I want to credit my fantastic co-authors: Jessica G. Burke (@jessgrifburke) of @PittPubHealth and Pema Lhaki of @nfccint.
Nepal is a geographically small yet diverse country of 125 caste/ethnic groups. Given the complexities of caste/ethnic roles and beliefs in the country, understanding how they impact menstrual health is critical.
