Is the vaccine allowed for menstruation?

Today, it is often possible to meet conflicting opinions about the need and safety of vaccinations. Once the first invented vaccine saved thousands of lives, and today many serious diseases have to be read only in cognitive literature thanks to them, since they practically do not occur. Do this often is not only necessary for children, but already for adult women. The question arises whether the vaccine is not dangerous with menstruation?

Do I need to vaccinate?

Vaccinations( vaccination) presuppose the creation of an immunity to a certain pathogen in the human body. In order to form it, it is not necessary to have the disease. It is enough for the immune system to collide at least once with the elements of microbes( their cellular membranes, other components).

It turns out that a person does not get sick, but immunity to the disease is formed. And already at contact with a pathogen in real conditions the organism at least knows how to deal with microorganisms. In most cases, such "meetings" pass unnoticed for a person.

The result of vaccination can be as follows:

• the organism meets the pathogen, copes with it absolutely imperceptibly for the person;
• interaction ends with the disease, but in mild and without normal complications;The
• did not need such protection.

It should also be understood that immunity can be created at different times. It all depends on the characteristics of the microorganisms that cause the disease. For example, for the influenza virus it is only a few months, for tetanus - 5 - 10 years, for viral hepatitis - up to 20 years or more, etc.

The only problem with vaccination is that it is not available for all diseases. There are many serious pathologies when it would be desirable to create an inoculation, but for the time being it is impossible for some reason. For example, the whole world would have breathed a sigh of relief if there was a vaccination against HIV.

A doctor can only offer vaccination by familiarizing himself with generally accepted standards. But to do it or not, everyone decides on their own. Vaccination is not a 100% guarantee against the disease, it only significantly reduces the likelihood, as well as the development of complications afterwards.

It is definitely recommended to vaccinate people who are at risk for some diseases. For example, as for influenza, it is overweight, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, diabetes, children's age, pregnant women and others. When an epidemic occurs, it is these people who get sick in the first place, and the percentage of complications is much higher than for all the others.

We recommend reading an article about what can not be done with menstruation. From it you will learn about the possibility of exercising during critical days, as well as drinking alcohol, having sex, visiting the bath, carrying out cosmetic procedures and diets.

Summing up, it is possible to recommend vaccination in the following layers of the population:

• in childhood according to the vaccination calendar;
• should be vaccinated against dangerous respiratory diseases, most often we have to talk about the flu and pneumonia;
• in risk groups in the presence of serious somatic pathology;
• when planning trips to countries with dangerous diseases, for example, from malaria, various fevers, etc.;
• in case of emergencies, for example, for the prevention of rabies after bites by animals, in order to prevent tetanus in "dirty" domestic wounds, etc.;
• also should seriously consider regular vaccinations for people who, due to their specialty, have to be exposed to certain effects, for example, doctors from hepatitis B and influenza, etc.

Menstruation - contraindications for vaccination?

Many women, putting for themselves various restrictions during critical days, are worried whether it is possible to inoculate with menstruation. In fact, menstruation is not only a contraindication, but even some kind of restriction to their conduct.

Many women during critical days do not feel any changes in their general state of health, mood or anything else. They lead a habitual way of life, almost without noticing these small inconveniences.

But all the same, sometimes you should be reinsured and postpone as far as possible the time of routine vaccination. Such situations include the following:

• If during a woman's period a woman experiences a sudden deterioration in her state of health, she often begins to get sick at the time, for example, herpes regularly appears on her lips. All this indicates a significant reduction in the protective forces of immunity these days, so for your own safety, you should refrain from vaccination.
• If the menstrual flow with a marked pain syndrome, a woman has to take a lot of medicines.

Of course, in cases of emergency vaccination on menstruation should not pay attention.

Preparing for the

procedure It is clear that any preparation for the procedure should be discussed only in the case of routine vaccination. It is recommended that:

• in the coming days not to burden the body with physical and mental labor, so as not to weaken the immune system;
• does not plan the beginning of any major health-improving activities, such as hardening, etc.;
• in some cases it is recommended to pass the general blood and urine tests the day before, and also to undergo an examination with a doctor;
• if ever a person has had an allergic reaction, it is necessary to warn the doctor, and it is better to make a special sensitive test for vaccination.

Conditions in which vaccinations should not be done

Ideally, before every vaccination a woman will undergo an examination with a doctor. He most reliably after the examination and the conversation will determine whether it is currently possible to carry out these vaccinations.

Women should be aware that many similar procedures are prohibited during pregnancy. This applies especially to the use of live inactivated vaccines, since this can have a negative effect on the developing fetus. For these purposes it is best to vaccinate immediately after menstruation, when it can be verified with certainty that there is no pregnancy.

Also all forms of immunodeficiencies, temporary or permanent, are a contraindication for vaccination or special formulations should be used.

We recommend to read an article about the monthly for influenza. From it you will learn about the reasons for the failure in the cycle after the illness, what to do with the delay, and whether it is possible to cause menstruation after the illness.

Vaccination has already saved millions of people from terrible diseases, epidemics and disabling complications. Therefore, it is not necessary to deny the fact of its undoubted benefits to humanity. But its conduct should be taken seriously, without neglecting the recommendations of doctors and the necessary examination. When answering the question of whether to do the inoculation with menstruation, one should take into account the general condition of women these days. There are no single contraindications.
