These days, presumably many female friends are envious of Zhejiang University and Nanjing University of Science and Technology, right?
Why envy?
Mainly because these two universities announced on the official platform that they issued the nine-valent HPV vaccine qualification, and opened vaccination appointments to all female teachers and students in the school.
At present, it is difficult to make an appointment for the domestic nine-valent vaccine, and it is usually necessary to wait more than 3 months to make an appointment for the nine-valent HPV vaccine.
This vaccine, which can prevent cancer, should be vaccinated in time for every woman
It should be known that cervical cancer is currently a malignant tumor with an incidence second only to breast cancer in the current 30-44-year-old female population, and HPV virus infection is the primary factor that causes cervical cancer.
The HPV vaccine, which happens to prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV virus infection, is currently the world's first vaccine with a preventive effect, so WHO recommends that the best vaccination age be 9-13 years old.
In short, the earlier the vaccine, the better the vaccine protection will be.
HPV, what exactly is the virus?
HPV, the human papillomavirus, is likely to be infected by both men and women, and it is the main cause of cervical cancer in women, so when it comes to HPV, everyone is very afraid.
But in fact, HPV is not a single virus, it is a general term for a class of viruses, including many types, only the high-risk type can cause cancer, and the low-risk hpv virus infection is generally not life-threatening.
How many types of HPV are there, and what are the high-risk and low-risk types?
The HPV virus family is very large, so far, there are more than 200 known types of HPV viruses.
People also divide them into high-risk types and low-risk types, of which there are about 15 high-risk types of viruses, common including 16 types, 18 types, 33 types, 58 types, etc., high-risk viruses can induce genital cancer, such as common cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, prostate cancer, cancer and so on.
There are many low-risk hpv types, common types include type 6, type 11, type 30, type 42, type 81, etc. Low-risk HPV can cause wart lesions of the external genitalia and skin, such as genital warts, etc., the main manifestations of which are increased secretions, vulvar itching and local gray and white cauliflower vegetations.
How to prevent HPV infection in life?
1. Strengthen living hygiene
Sexual contact is the main route of HPV virus infection.
To prevent HPV infection, first of all, we should strengthen the hygiene of sexual life, both men and women should do a good job of cleaning and hygiene of private parts before and after sexual life, avoid cross-infection, condoms can be used during sexual life, condoms can prevent most of the HPV infection, in addition to avoiding multiple sexual partners.
2. Do not share daily necessities with others
Private daily necessities, such as bath towels, towels, bed sheets, duvet covers, toothbrushes, etc. can be disinfected regularly with 84, and then placed in the sun to be thoroughly exposed, and it is also necessary to avoid sharing these private daily necessities with others in life to avoid cross-infection.
3. Enhance immune function
People with low immunity are more likely to be infected with HPV virus, and if you want to prevent HPV infection, you should start from daily life habits and pay attention to the regulation of diet, sleep and exercise.
In terms of diet, you can consume more high-protein foods such as milk and eggs, and you can also eat more bananas, broccoli, etc., to supplement sufficient vitamins.
In addition to dietary regulation, exercise is also the best way to enhance immune function, exercise can promote blood circulation and metabolism, enhance physical fitness, stimulate the activity of the immune system, which has a key role in maintaining health.
In addition, everyone should also maintain a good work and rest, less stay up late, so that the body can better fight the virus.
If you want to prevent cervical cancer, the HPV vaccine alone is not enough!
Although vaccination can prevent most cervical cancers, it does not mean that you can rest easy after vaccination.
Since the recommended age of HPV vaccination is 9-12 years old, vaccination is better before the first sexual activity, but there are still other subtypes of HPV that cannot be covered.
Therefore, even after vaccination, we must not forget to conduct regular cervical cancer screening.
Especially for 26-65 years old, hpvance testing is recommended every 5 years, and if conditions do not permit, a combination test can be performed every 5 years, or a cytology test every 3 years.
