There are many myths about the corona vaccination.
There are even women who report larger breasts after vaccination.
You can find out what's up here.
Infertile after corona vaccination to microchips that are placed under the skin during the corona vaccination: the Covid vaccination also calls conspiracy theorists on the scene. But the fact is that the approval studies of the corona vaccines, which were collected in Europe, prove their safety and effectiveness.
The benefits of the vaccinations - namely the containment of the corona pandemic - outweigh the risks
, according to health authorities such as the Robert Koch Institute.
Temporary vaccination reactions are not uncommon.
Many people who have been vaccinated have to deal with headaches, chills or even fever for a short time after the injection.
In the vast majority of cases, however, these are a good sign, as Carlos Guzmán, head of the Department of Vaccinology and Applied Microbiology at the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, informs.
“They are an indication that the vaccination is working,” Guzmán told
ZDFheute
.
Water retention can lead to temporary breast enlargement
Not only common vaccination reactions such as pain at the injection site are reported, but also rather “exotic” consequences of the vaccination. There are women whose bra no longer fits after the vaccination. The Bayerischer Rundfunk has dealt in its information series "Fact Fox" with the question of whether the vaccination really makes the bust grow. According to the BR, some posts from those affected can be found on Twitter and other social media channels.
For example, a TikTok user published a video of her cleavage with the information “I swear on god I'm almost 2 cup sizes bigger”.
Marion Kiechle, Director of the Uniklinik Rechts der Isar gynecological clinic, classifies such reports as follows: “We have never seen an enlargement of the breasts, nor has any of our patients ever reported it.
In my opinion, there is also no medical justification for a swelling or even enlargement of the breasts due to a corona vaccination ”.
Ulrike Protzer, Director at the Institute of Virology at the Technical University of Munich, agrees with this assessment:
"We have never been reported about this, I do not know any objective data on this and there are no entries in the databases on side effects either".
Survey on the subject of corona vaccination
However, in theory it is possible that the bust size will be larger after the corona vaccination.
This is the view of senior physician Thorsten Koch from the Breast Center in Nuremberg.
In this case it is a reactive lymph node enlargement.
The lymph nodes swell as a result of the immune reaction, which can disrupt the outflow of lymph fluid, according to Koch, according to the BR.
This could lead to temporary water retention and also to a temporarily enlarged breast
, it said.
In a telephone interview with the BR, however, senior doctor Koch informs that a patient has never told him about enlarged breasts after the corona vaccination.
