Covid vaccination and abdominal pain - ladies

[manonthemoon2]

I had a routine appointment with my gynaecologist this afternoon.

During my examination (ladies you'll know what I mean), it was very painful as he was pressing down on my abdo area. He asked if I'd had covid vaccinations, especially Moderna or Pfizer, which I have. He said in the last few months he had seen a lot of ladies all suffering similar abdominal symptoms.

I don't know if he is an anti vaxer, but wondered if any of our forum ladies have any problems in this area?

Unfortunately, he also found one large ovarian cyst, and a smaller cyst. Because of my breast cancer history this is being investigated .

Well, if a "bloke" can add his bit - abdominal and back areas are now acknowledged as areas Covid can attack - it is not just nasopharyngeal. So maybe if the real thing can do this, so can vaccine?

I've had 4 Pfizer vaccinations with no abdominal problems, but then I've had a radical hysterectomy so there's nothing there. I'm sorry to hear about your ovarian cysts, but it's good they've been found early. I had two and that's one of the reasons I ended up in hospital. I do hope all goes well for you and send you my best wishes for a speedy resolution.

@manonthemoon2 Oooh sorry to hear about your cysts and hope all is OK. So for other ladies who may be reading this thread I've had no problems with the Moderna vac but then I had strange internal 'goings on' when I was young - nothing serious I would add and never resolved

Oh! That is news to me

Thank you Nimey for your useful input, perhaps you have knocked the nail on the head

I know of menstrual issues associated with the vaccine and the vaccine so potential for a link maybe

We are still learning about the effects of Covid and the vaccines - still many unknowns it would seem
Hope your situation is soon resolved MOTM2 ....

I've heard cases of menstrual problems with the virus and the vaccine. It seems quite a well known "side effect" now. Maybe us over a certain age (gone through menopause) are immune to it?

Sorry to hear about the cysts, MOTM2, hopefully it all gets sorted soon.

Good luck with the cysts, MOTM2. The French are very good at dealing with them, imo.
I had them too - removed in Limoges 20 years ago after being told endlessly in the UK that the problems they caused couldn't be cured! Everything else removed at the same time (radical hystericals).
