Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old. I heard from a friend that the incidence of cervical cancer is particularly high now. If you get vaccinated, you can prevent it. Please ask if the HPV vaccine is only given once in a lifetime.Doctor's answer:
The experiment found that 99.7% of cervical cancer is caused by the transmission of HPV, and HPV can also cause other relatively rare cancers, such as penile cancer, laryngeal cancer, lung cancer, and anal cancer, etc. Therefore, it is very necessary to anesthetize for the cervical cancer vaccine. However, this vaccine does not cover the latter half of life, and the cervical cancer vaccine is administered in multiple courses, requiring some anesthetics. At the same time, it is also necessary to test antibodies, as some people may still be ineffective even after vaccination.
