Infection with HPV virus can cause a variety of cancers
Most cervical cancer in women is caused by persistent infection of high-risk HPV virus, 99.7％ Cervical cancer patients were found to have been infected with the virus. In addition, diseases such as anal cancer, condyloma acuminatum, vaginal cancer, and throat cancer are inextricably linked to the HPV virus.
It is reported that about 18,000 women and 7,000 men in the United States are affected by HPV-related cancers each year.
Is there an age limit for vaccinating against HPV?
It is generally believed that adolescent women are the first choice for vaccination. The World Health Organization (WHO) and American obstetricians and gynecologists The Association (ACOG) recommends that people over 9 years old be vaccinated, and the sooner the antibody is given, the better.
In addition, as long as the HPV virus is infected through sexual life, the protection of HPV vaccine before sexual life is the most effective. But for those who already have sex, even if the vaccination is still necessary, it is not only for those who are not married or have sex.
Males should also get HPV vaccine as soon as possible
In fact, HPV vaccines are not just for women, men are also recommended. When she was newly married, Ms. Wang dragged her husband, Mr. Li, when she went to Hong Kong to vaccinate and scan goods. Mr. Li is a university teacher. After consulting some HPV vaccine materials, he very much supported his wife to get vaccinated, and he gladly accepted his wife''s suggestion to get vaccinated. He believes: "Although the HPV vaccine is mainly used to prevent cervical cancer in women, this virus is transmitted sexually after all, so conditional men should also be vaccinated. After all, achieving group immunity is the best result."
