The Japanese team announced the side effects of the Pfizer vaccine: about half of women have swollen lymph nodes

According to Japan's Asahi TV reported on the 4th, the investigation of the research team of St. Luke's International Hospital in Japan showed that about half of the women who have been vaccinated against the new crown have the side effects of axillary lymphadenopathy, but it will gradually disappear after two and a half months. Because it can interfere with breast cancer tests, doctors have called for tests to be done at intervals of several months after vaccination.

According to the report, in May, a research team composed of Dr. Kitamiko of the Department of Breast Surgery at St. Luke's International Hospital in Japan conducted regular ultrasound examinations of the armpits of 135 healthy women aged 23 to 63 who had received the 23- to 63-year-old Pfizer vaccine twice.

The survey showed that after a month and a half of vaccination against the new crown, the examination found that about half (67 people) of women found lymphadenopathy on the side of vaccination, and with the extension of time, the scope of swelling gradually increased, and after an average of two and a half months, the problem of lymphadenopathy would slowly disappear.

Dr. Kita said, "Lymphadenopathy after vaccination is a temporary immune response, and although it will disappear on its own after a period of time, if you go to an ultrasound immediately after vaccination, it will be difficult to distinguish from the phenomenon of abnormal lymphadenopathy due to cancer metastasis, etc." ”

In response to this situation, she said that if you want to undergo a physical examination after vaccination, you need to explain the vaccination to the examining doctor. Second, if there are no symptoms such as hard blocks, it is best to have breast cancer tested several months after vaccination. Finally, people who are being treated for breast cancer or who have completed treatment are best not vaccinated on the cancer-bearing side.
