Alarming health crisis in teenage girls, HPV shot study reveals
(NaturalHealth365) A University of Maryland study has delivered shocking news to millions of families considering HPV vaccination for their daughters. Using rigorous scientific methods to track nearly 80,000 young women, researchers discovered that HPV shots significantly increase the risk of two serious health conditions that can devastate quality of life: autonomic dysfunction and menstrual irregularities.
Published in Drugs – Real World Outcomes, this represents the first comprehensive U.S.-based study to examine these specific risks, and the results should be of concern to every parent and healthcare provider.
Study reveals risks previous research couldn’t find
The University of Maryland researchers employed a sophisticated “self-controlled case series” design, in which each participant served as their own control. This eliminates bias from comparing different groups of people and provides the most reliable evidence possible.
They analyzed insurance claims data from 78,238 girls and young women aged 9-26 who received their first HPV shot between 2016 and 2020. The researchers identified:
- 1,654 cases of autonomic dysfunction
- 3,140 cases of menstrual irregularities
By comparing each person’s health 6 months before vaccination with up to 36 months afterward, they discovered alarming patterns that previous studies had missed.
The numbers that should terrify every parent
After adjusting for age, the study revealed:
Autonomic dysfunction:
- 23% increased risk overall
- 40% increased risk for women aged 18-26
- Higher rates in those receiving only one vaccine dose
Menstrual irregularities:
- 30% increased risk overall
- 51% increased risk for girls aged 9-17
- The highest risk is among those receiving two doses
Lead researcher Dr. Linda Wastila emphasized these “risks are not insubstantial,” representing thousands of young women whose lives may be permanently altered by vaccine injuries.
When your body’s control system goes haywire
Imagine your body suddenly forgetting how to perform basic functions, such as pumping blood properly when you stand up or regulating your heart rate. That’s what happens with autonomic dysfunction – your body’s autopilot system essentially breaks down.
Here’s what happens to these girls:
- Heart races like they just ran a marathon – just from standing up
- Exhaustion so severe that they can’t stay awake in class
- Constant dizziness and passing out in public
- Brain fog so bad that they can’t remember their own homework
- Chest pain that sends them to the emergency room
- Headaches that feel like their skull is being crushed
- Panic attacks that make them afraid to leave the house
This isn’t just a case of feeling “under the weather.” These girls go from being star athletes and honor students to being unable to shower without sitting down. Some become completely housebound, watching their friends graduate while they’re too sick to attend school.
When periods become a nightmare
Here’s what nobody wants to talk about: the HPV shot is messing with girls’ reproductive systems in ways that could affect them for life.
We’re not talking about slightly irregular cycles or a few missed periods. These girls are experiencing reproductive chaos that can steal their future fertility and make every month a living hell.
What’s really happening:
- Periods disappearing for months or years (imagine being 16 and already entering menopause)
- Ovaries shutting down permanently before age 20
- Bleeding so heavy that it requires emergency room visits
- Cycles so unpredictable that planning anything becomes impossible
- Hormones going haywire, affecting their entire body
The psychological damage is just as devastating. These girls become isolated, missing school and social events, falling behind academically, when college applications matter most. Some develop eating disorders, trying to regain control over their bodies.
Rethink before you roll up your sleeve
Before subjecting your child – or yourself – to the risks associated with this shot, do your research. Ask the hard questions:
-
Do the benefits truly outweigh the risks?
-
Why is the efficacy data so thin and inconsistent?
-
Why are the adverse effects so widespread and underreported?
Too often, the promise of protection is paired with vague data, aggressive marketing, and silence around the real harms. Many young women have experienced life-altering symptoms after vaccination – yet the system rarely acknowledges their suffering.
Instead of outsourcing health to a shot with questionable benefits and very real risks, turn inward and strengthen what’s already yours: your immune system.
What is the bigger picture?
While this study cannot prove causation, it provides strong evidence of association that demands further investigation. The researchers acknowledge their findings add to “a growing body of research” linking HPV vaccines to “chronic and potentially disabling side effects.”
Hundreds of lawsuits against Merck allege that the company was aware of these risks but failed to warn the public. Expert reports in ongoing litigation suggest Merck manipulated clinical trial data to hide safety signals.
As more young women suffer debilitating injuries, the need for honest safety research and transparent informed consent becomes increasingly urgent.
Take control of your health
This research empowers families to make truly informed decisions about HPV vaccination. While cancer prevention is important, the risk-benefit calculation must include these newly documented risks of chronic, disabling conditions.

Your daughter’s health is too precious to risk on incomplete safety data. Demand full disclosure and make informed choices based on complete information.
