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. Can I still get the HPV vaccine after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
HPV virus is particularly effective in males and females over nine years old who have not had sexual activity. However, females who are older than children can also be anesthetized. It is recommended that you first go to the hospital for an HPV typing test. If you are not infected, you can get vaccinated. However, the current vaccines are generally only available in a nine-valent form, which targets only nine types and is not very effective against other types. Vaccination usually requires three injections, and it is important to follow the recommended schedule to ensure timely vaccination, which can produce good results.
