Is it really necessary to get the HPV vaccine?

Patient's question:

Female, 30 years old, got the cervical cancer vaccine with friends. She is not very familiar with this vaccine, so she wants to ask if the HPV vaccine is really necessary.

Doctor's answer:

The HPV vaccine is a vaccine that can prevent the transmission of the working HPV virus. By preventing the transmission of the working HPV virus, it effectively prevents cervical cancer caused by HPV virus transmission, so it is also known as the "cervical cancer vaccine." In clinical diagnosis, based on the carcinogenicity of HPV, it is divided into two types: low-risk and high-risk. High-risk types are the "terrorists" that cause cancer. Types 16, 18, 31, and 33 are high-risk types, so it is recommended that if conditions permit, it is still necessary to implement anesthesia.
