The cancer vaccine can be given to men as well. Let’s see if you meet the criteria Cervical cancer is one of the three most prevalent malignant tumors in women worldwide, causing tens of thousands of deaths every year, with more than 80% of them occurring in developing countries, and among malignant tumors of the female reproductive system in China, cervical cancer ranks first in incidence and mortality. Currently, the incidence of cervical cancer is low before the age of 30, but the incidence rate rises sharply after the age of 30 until it reaches its peak at the age of 45. However, at the same time, cervical cancer is the only cancer with a clear cause, the only cancer that can be prevented early and treated effectively, and has the hope of being cured. Scientific research shows that more than 99% of cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus, or HPV, which is transmitted mainly through sexual intercourse, and there are more than 200 sub-categories under this major category, making it an extremely large family of viruses, among which HPV types 16 and 18 have the highest infection rate, and more than 60% of new infections each year belong to these two types. What is the HPV vaccine? Do I have to get the nine-valent? The HPV vaccine is a vaccine developed for the HPV virus, which can effectively prevent the lesions caused by HPV infection. There are three types of HPV vaccines available, which can be divided into bivalent, quadrivalent and nine-valent according to the raw material and the population. 1. Applicable age: Bivalent is the most widely available for people aged 9 to 45; quadrivalent is for people aged 20 to 45; and nine-valent is only for people aged 16 to 26. 2, the scope of application: bivalent can prevent HPV virus type 16 and 18; quadrivalent on the basis of bivalent increased type 6 and 11; nine price on the basis of quadrivalent increased 31, 33, 45, 52 and so on, the prevention rate of up to 90% or more, is the highest representative of HPV prevention under the existing medical level. 3, price: you get what you pay for, and its efficacy is proportional to the price of the three HPV vaccines is also nine > quadrivalent > bivalent, and the degree of supply and demand on the market is also the same, the nine price is often a needle hard to find, bivalent, quadrivalent but often run out. Since the nine-valent can prevent the widest range of diseases, is it necessary to get the nine-valent? Not necessarily. As mentioned above, the age of application of the three vaccines is different, and the first thing is to select them according to the age group you are in. If you happen to be at the optimal age for vaccination, should you subscribe to the nine-valent? In this case, of course, the nine-valent is preferred. However, the demand for the nine-valent in the market now far exceeds the supply, and the supply exceeds the demand, and it is always in short supply, and even if it is replenished, it is quickly snapped up, so it is still difficult to get an appointment for the nine-valent. In the process of waiting, it is very likely that you will miss the age, so when you encounter this situation, it is possible to take the second best option and choose quadrivalent, because no matter which of the three types of vaccines can effectively prevent the highest incidence of HPV types 16 and 18, as long as you play, it is much safer than not playing. Who is not suitable for vaccination? 1. Pregnant, pregnant and lactating women: Although there is no evidence that embryonic malformations or other adverse reactions to pregnancy are directly related to the vaccine, it is, after all, a medicine that is poisonous, and in principle, it is not recommended to vaccinate mothers-to-be or those who are preparing for pregnancy. 2.Allergic people: HPV vaccine, like other vaccines, requires an allergy test before vaccination, and if there is an adverse reaction, the vaccine cannot be administered. 3.Patients with cervical cancer: If you are already sick then don’t get vaccinated, no medication is trivial, the patient’s body is in a very fragile stage and rash medication is likely to aggravate the disease. Is it necessary for men to receive HPV vaccination too? Why do you think men can also get the HPV vaccine? Isn’t cervical cancer a disease that only women get? Is it necessary for men to get vaccinated? Of course it is necessary. Cervical cancer is caused by HPV virus infection, and HPV virus does not only infect women, if men are infected by the virus, it may lead to condyloma acuminata, penile cancer, anal cancer, and even sterility, the rate of HPV infection in men is also increasing year by year, so we have to pay attention to this, and if there are conditions, it is recommended to be vaccinated as soon as possible for good protection. HPV vaccination precautions 1, do a good physical examination before vaccination, to ensure that the body is in a normal state, no flu and fever and no other major diseases, as well as to determine not allergic to the vaccine. 2. It is best for women to avoid menstruation, and breastfeeding and pregnancy are also not eligible for vaccination. 3, the inoculation site may be red, swollen, painful, this is a normal phenomenon, generally after a few days will be good, if there is serious discomfort must be timely medical treatment. 4, after the vaccination need to stay in the hospital for about an hour to observe, to determine no allergic reaction before you can leave. 5, do not touch water within 24h, keep the vaccination site clean. 6, avoid eating spicy and stimulating food, try to maintain a light diet. 7, coitus must be good measures to ensure hygiene, to avoid inducing infection leading to vaccine failure. Finally, it must be remembered that not everything is fine after vaccination, after all, even a good vaccine cannot prevent all viruses that cause cervical cancer, so it is still necessary to go to the hospital for cervical cancer screening on a regular basis, as indicated in a document published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer: vaccination + regular cervical cancer screening is the best prevention and control strategy.
