Recently I saw a chat history between a girl and her boyfriend:
Let's see! Is this talking about human words?
It's 2024, and there are still people who think that HPV vaccination = inappropriate private life?
Nana just wants to say to this girl: Don't pay attention to these ignorant thoughts, the sooner you get vaccinated, the more you will benefit! As for whether this boyfriend wants it or not, it's up to you~
Every once in a while, rumors come out about the HPV vaccine. It's like spinning in place, after this year, there will be next year.
Some people think that it is not necessary, as long as both parties are clean and self-conscious, they will not be infected;
There are also people who think that HPV is infected through xsh;
What's more, they think that only women can be infected, and they think that HPV infection = cervical ai.....
In fact, the above are all rumors!
The importance of HPV vaccine for women is really no less than the chickenpox and hepatitis B vaccines we received when we were children!
If conditions allow, every woman should go for a fight!
Nana's friends have been vaccinated one after another in the past few years. The first feeling after the vaccination is: regret! Regret not getting vaccinated sooner!
Today, Nana has prepared "five questions and five answers" for the HPV vaccine, and I believe that after reading it, you can also solve many of your doubts.
PS: Because I am not a professional, if there is anything wrong, everyone is welcome to correct it!
Then the first thing to know is what the HPV virus is.
HPV, whose Chinese name is human papillomavirus, mainly lives on the skin and mucous membranes, and it is said that more than 84% of women will be infected once in their lifetime.
The HPV family is very large, and more than 130 subtypes have been discovered, the most dangerous of which are HPV16 and HPV18, and both are the causes of cervical cancer.
HPV is generally divided into two types: carcinogenic (high-risk) and non-carcinogenic (low-risk).
High-risk type: the main culprit of cervical cancer, external genital cancer, etc., mainly HPV-16 and HPV-18 viruses.
Low-risk type: It can cause neoplasia in the intimate area, and HPV-6 and HPV-11 are its main representatives.
Not.
Even if you are infected with HPV, the symptoms will not be obvious at first, and there will be a good chance that you will turn negative through autoimmunity.
Only people who are at low or high risk of persistent infection, who are found to be very poor and not paying attention to persistent infection, are found to be cancerous.
Therefore, it is necessary to have regular check-ups.
Depending on the age group, the following frequencies can be checked:
In addition, if you already have these symptoms, please check and seek medical attention in time.
Even if women are clean, who can guarantee that men will be able to hold on to themselves?
What's more, HPV is not only transmitted through sexual transmission.
In the movie "Sadness Flows Into a River", the heroine is a high school student who has no x life, but is still infected with HPV, just because she shares a towel with others.
In fact, if you come into contact with the underwear, bathtub, bedding, cushions, etc. used by HPV carriers, there will be a certain chance of infection.
Mother-to-child transmission is also one of the routes of transmission.
So, getting vaccinated can give us all-round protection and avoid a lot of sharing without knowing it.
First of all, vaccination is actually more or less uncomfortable, and the HPV vaccine is no exception.
Some people may experience slight redness, swelling, pain, fever or vomiting at the injection site.
However, these symptoms are rare, and even if you feel uncomfortable, they usually subside within a few days. (If you are not sure, you can go to the hospital for a check-up)
Nana didn't have any discomfort symptoms after vaccination, haha!
In short, everyone's physique is different, and the discomfort will be different.
However, it is not recommended if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. There are also sisters with a history of allergies, who need to communicate with their doctors before deciding whether they can be vaccinated.
There are more than N kinds of HPV vaccines being studied in countries around the world, but there are currently only three members of the most prevalent vaccine: bivalent vaccine, quadrivalent vaccine, and nine-valent vaccine.
These three mainstream members are very mature in technology, but the type of virus for each prevention is slightly different, and the sisters can choose the one that suits them.
It is important to note that HPV vaccination is to prevent and reduce the probability, not to say that it will be done once and for all after vaccination.
There are a total of 200+ types of HPV, and the current vaccine can only protect against 9 (high-risk types)!
So it's important to get regular check-ups!
Finally: the HPV vaccine is not exclusive to women, and men can also be vaccinated, after all, men can also be infected with the HPV virus.
So, male friends, don't hesitate to complete the vaccination as soon as possible in order to protect yourself and your loved ones.
