Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old. Under my mother's insistence, I got the cervical cancer vaccine. I just finished getting the first shot. Question: Can I have sex during the HPV vaccination period?Doctor's answer:
This is for the prevention of cervical cancer. Even without sexual activity, it cannot prevent the possibility of cervical cancer, so sexual activity is not a condition for the effectiveness of the vaccine. Therefore, there is no opinion. Moreover, the vaccine is administered via intramuscular injection, which is not closely related to your sexual activity. After vaccination, some adverse reactions may occur, and it is recommended to observe carefully in the hospital for half an hour before leaving. However, getting vaccinated before sexual activity can relatively reduce the risk.
