Prevention of cervical cancer is now a compulsory course for every woman. Director Xiujie, a gynecologist at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said in an interview with Family Doctor Online that there are two ways to prevent cervical cancer: The first is to get HPV vaccine. , The second is to do regular cervical cancer screening. For cervical cancer screening, Chief Physician Sheng Xiujie suggested that it can be done after having sex, so how is the HPV vaccine best?
cervical cancer vaccine cannot prevent all cervical cancer
Chief physician Yang Yuebo of the Department of Gynecology of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University said that cervical cancer vaccine is a preventive vaccine that can prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV16 and HPV18 infection. Not only can prevent cervical cancer, but also prevent precancerous lesions. But it can only prevent cervical cancer caused by some viruses, and it has not achieved a complete preventive effect. Therefore, it is best for women to have a cervical cytology check every year, which is currently a better prevention method. How to choose
cervical cancer vaccine?
Chief Physician Sheng Xiujie said that currently has two cervical cancer vaccines on the international market, one is quadrivalent and the other is bivalent; both can be selected, and both have preventive effects. The cervical cancer vaccine requires three injections. At present, it is not considered a big problem to protect for ten years, but whether it can protect for a longer period of time remains to be clinical data. Cervical cancer vaccine can prevent HPV virus infection, but if people who have been infected with HPV virus get another injection, the preventive effect will be reduced. It is recommended to get a cervical cancer vaccine before having sex, the effect will be good; after marriage, it is also possible, but the effect will be less. Who is suitable for
cervical cancer vaccine?
Dr. Li Yujie, from the Department of Gynecology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Hospital, said that the most suitable vaccine for cervical cancer is girls who have not yet started sexual life between 9 and 16 years old. For women who have had sex, it is recommended to use contraception before taking the cervical vaccine; for patients who are already pregnant, it is recommended not to use it; in addition, those who have a history of allergies to the components of the vaccine or adjuvants are advised not to get the vaccine temporarily; before vaccination, If you have an acute illness, such as high fever, skin rash, etc., it is recommended to postpone vaccination.
