A WOMAN’S breasts ballooned after receiving the Covid vaccine, in a rare case that scientists are calling a “Pfizer boob job”.
The 19-year-old from Canada went from a B cup to a triple G within six months after receiving the two-shot course.
After her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine in September 2022, she noticed her breasts tingling and gradually growing.
By the time she had the second shot three weeks later, her breasts had grown six cup sizes.
Concerned by the rapid growth, she sought medical advice.
“The patient believed that the vaccine caused her breast growth,” researchers from Toronto wrote last month in the Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery-Global Open, journal
“However, her concerns were not adequately addressed by her primary care physicians, leading to mistrust in the healthcare system.”
Doctors diagnosed her with pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH), a rare condition that leads to abnormal cell growth and benign lumps in the breast.
After extensive medical tests, no hormonal imbalances or typical causes of gigantomastia such as pregnancy or medication were identified.
Fewer than 200 cases of PASH have been reported worldwide, and experts say this is the first known link between the condition and a vaccine.
Although the exact cause remains uncertain, some studies suggest the vaccine may cause temporary swelling of lymph nodes, which could result in the breasts appearing larger.
When the vaccine was first rolled out, some individuals reported an increase in breast size or a change in breast shape, shortly after receiving the jab.
At the time, doctors put it down to a side effect called axillary adenopathy, also known as swollen lymph nodes.
Swollen lymph nodes can occur in your armpits as well as in your neck and groin.
They are usually a sign of fighting infection, which is why they may become swollen after a jab.
The vaccine triggers an immune response similar to real infection with the coronavirus.
The NHS says that reactions are extremely rare, and the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh any risks.
In this case, the woman had no underlying health issues, and while her breasts were swollen and saggy, no masses were found.
An ultrasound and CT scan revealed slightly swollen lymph nodes and dense blood vessels around the armpits, likely due to the enlarged tissue.
PASH is a benign condition first described in 1986, causing non-cancerous lumps made of specific cells.
The case has raised questions about whether Covid vaccines could potentially trigger excessive breast growth, but more research is needed to understand the link.
The woman underwent a breast reduction 11 months after her initial vaccine, removing 8lbs (3.6kg) of tissue and reducing her size to a double D cup.
While there has been no further growth, her breasts are now asymmetrical, and she’s considering more surgery to restore them to their original size.
A COVID jab caused a man to start cross dressing while others became compulsive gamblers, medical records reveal.
The drugs also caused a spike in sex drives and even brought on increased farting, it is claimed.
A report from the nation’s drugs watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, listed some of the weirdest reported side-effects of Covid medications logged over the past five years.
It comes after it was revealed 16,000 people have made a compensation claim to a government scheme for alleged harm caused by the vaccines.
Among cases logged were 18 people whose libidos increased uncontrollably — while another 61 saw a fall in their sex drive.
There were 24 cases of eating disorders and 43 patients said they went on to suffer paranoia.
One person said they only started to enjoy wearing the clothes of the opposite sex after having the Pfizer vaccine.
Some 415 people said the AstraZeneca jab caused them to suffer from flatulence.
Uncontrollable yawning, fatigue, nausea, skin rashes and gambling were also recorded.
The register acts as an “early warning system” for potential side effects.
The MHRA said: “A reported reaction does not necessarily mean it has been caused by the medicine, only that the reporter had a suspicion it may have.”
