Can I get the HPV vaccine while breastfeeding?

Experts say that it is not suitable for pregnant women and breastfeeding women to get vaccinated. Although there is currently no established scientific research to prove that vaccination is harmful to babies or pregnant mothers, everyone should not receive vaccinations without the doctor's knowledge to avoid unexpected adverse effects.

The HPV vaccine is a vaccine approved for human use by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is a safe and effective preventive vaccine that is within the body's tolerance range and can be safely injected. However, this is for ordinary healthy people. If the body has congenital technical defects, it is necessary to inform the vaccinating physician in time when getting the vaccination, and under the doctor's diagnosis, see whether it is suitable for vaccination and how much vaccine is appropriate.

Generally speaking, a person may be infected with the HPV virus at any stage of his life, so the infection is relatively common. There are more than 130 types of HPV virus discovered so far, but only high-risk HPV viruses can cause serious harm to the body. Currently, HPV vaccines can effectively prevent 9 types of viruses (HPV6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58), among which HPV6/11 infection is the main cause of genital warts, and HPV16/18 infection is the cause of cervical cancer. Although the harm of some minor sexually transmitted viruses is not great, they also need to be prevented.

Many people worry that being infected with the HPV virus will cause cancer. In fact, there is no need to panic. The body's own immunity can eliminate some HPV viruses. When the virus first touches the body, the body's own antigens are actually on alert at all times and stand up to resist at any time. However, the body's antibodies are limited. Most HPV viruses can reside in the body and cause serious damage to the human body after nearly 5-10 years of slow gene mutation. HPV vaccine can increase the HPV virus antigen by 10-14 times.

Special reminder: In addition to HPV vaccination, you also need to pay attention to your daily life. Some underwear and utensils need to be disinfected in time. People with HPV virus should pay attention to the appropriate contact with others, and after doing this, they still need to go to the hospital regularly for professional examinations to ensure comprehensive and effective prevention.
