Uterine cancer vaccination

It is not cost-effective to get the cervical cancer vaccine overseas. It requires three shots, and each shot costs several thousand yuan. Therefore, most women who go abroad to get vaccinated are from high-income groups, and most of them are sexually active. Once you have sexual experience, it means you may have been exposed to the HPV virus and even been infected. If you get vaccinated again, the protective effect will not be so ideal. The best time to get the cervical cancer vaccine is before a woman has her first sexual intercourse. It is best to get the vaccine when women are young, just like the hepatitis B vaccine. According to statistics, a large proportion of people who receive HPV vaccines abroad are girls who are about to enter puberty or are in their teenage years.

Although vaccines have the above limitations, they are still an indispensable active prevention method to reduce the risk of infection. However, from the perspective of preventing cervical cancer, it is not necessary for mature beauties to rely solely on vaccines to prevent cervical cancer.

A positive HPV test does not necessarily mean that you will develop cancer.

For mature women, a more economical and reliable anti-cancer method is to conduct regular gynecological examinations, including HPV testing and cervical cytology screening. Among them, the results of HPV testing are most touching to patients.

In fact, a positive test does not mean the level of progression of cervical cancer.

Whether HPV-positive women can progress to precancerous lesions and cancers such as cervical epithelial hyperplasia is closely related to which subtype they belong to. Scientific research shows that among women with mild cervical lesions, those who are positive for high-risk HPV infection have a higher risk of cervical lesions progression than those who are infected with low-risk HPV or are HPV-negative. In addition, the HPV DNA load level, the time of the first HPV infection, etc. also have a certain practical significance for the progression of cervical cancer.

Six types of women with high-risk factors should pay special attention to regular gynecological examinations: one is women who have sex too early; two is women who have given birth early or have given birth multiple times; three is women who have multiple sexual partners, or whose immediate family members have multiple sexual partners; four is women whose partners have foreskin that is too long or have genital tract infections such as genital herpes; five is women who have cervical diseases, such as cervicitis, cervical precancerous lesions, etc.; six is ​​women who have a family history of cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, vaginal cancer or vulvar cancer. Once abnormal vaginal bleeding occurs, especially bleeding during sexual intercourse, cervical screening should be carried out immediately.
