In the past few days, the topics of chatting between colleagues have been revolving around HPV vaccine , completely ignoring the feelings of male compatriots in the office. The reason is that the two young ladies should get the third shot of the quadrivalent vaccine, but because the vaccine is very scarce, they can't make an appointment. In order to miss the best vaccination time, the two ladies acted separately. One stared at his mobile phone to brush the vaccine information whenever he had time, and the other called the health center when he had time. After 50 calls, it finally got connected. As a result, the health center directly told him that "the vaccine is tight and there is no way to reserve it." Otherwise, HPV vaccine is "hard to find a vaccine"!
Then why is the HPV vaccine so popular? Is it a urgent need for women? Or is it a leek bureau carefully set up by capital? Today, the editor will take you to find out. What exactly is the
HPV vaccine?
To understand HPV, we have to mention cervical cancer . Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women and is also the fourth largest malignant tumor that plagues women in the world. According to data, cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women aged 15 to 44 in China. There are about 130,000 new cervical cancer cases in China each year, accounting for one-third of the new cases in the world, of which about 80,000 women die. Globally, an average of one new case is detected every minute, and a woman dies of cervical cancer every two minutes.
study found that 99% of cervical cancers are caused by persistent infection of high-risk HPV . Therefore, it can be said that HPV is the culprit of cervical cancer. The full name of HPV is human papillomavirus . It is divided into high-risk and low-risk types according to its harm. The high-risk type is at risk of carcinogenicity, while the low-risk type is at risk of warts (that is, genital warts ). As the name suggests, the
HPV vaccine is mainly to prevent HPV, which in turn helps women prevent cervical cancer. With the increasing attention of female friends to cervical cancer in recent years, it is not surprising that HPV vaccine is extremely popular. Should I get the
HPV vaccine?
Currently, HPV vaccine on the domestic market has three types: 2-valent, 4-valent, and 9-valent. Their differences are mainly due to the difference in protection strength. The higher the price, it means that the wider the range of preventable viruses, the stronger the protection strength, and of course the higher the price. Specifically, 2-price prevention type 16, 18 type; 4-price prevention type 16, 18 type; 6-price prevention type 11 type; 9-price prevention type 16, 18 type; 6-price prevention type 11 type; 31, 33 type, 45, 52, and 58 type.
The vaccination ages of different "valents" vaccines also vary. The 2-valent vaccine is suitable for 9 to 45 years old, the 4-valent vaccine is suitable for 20 to 45 years old, and the 9-valent vaccine is suitable for 16 to 26 years old.
From the above, we can see that HPV vaccine can only prevent a limited number of viruses. It is not 100% guaranteed to avoid getting sick after being given. At the same time, since different vaccines are applicable to different ages, you must make a choice based on your actual situation and don’t blindly follow the trend when you watch others go out for the shot.
Since HPV vaccine only plays a preventive role and cannot kill the virus, the best time for vaccination should be before sexual intercourse. The reference age is female (9-26 years old) male (9-21 years old). My friend has two children, and her sex life is relatively stable. I personally think that the meaning of HPV is not very big!
It should be noted that HPV virus is transmitted through sexual behavior between people. Generally speaking, the more partners you have or the more partners you have in the other party’s past, the greater the chance of HPV infection, so you must pay more attention to this aspect!
The root cause is still in one's own physical condition
We might as well change our perspective and understand and think about this issue from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine does not treat patients, emphasizes the dialectics of physical constitution, and believes that when a person gets sick, it is the invasion of evil qi and affects the positive energy of our body. Therefore, the idea of traditional Chinese medicine in treating diseases is to adjust our body's environment and not give evil qi the opportunity to breed and grow, so that the body can return to the state of positive energy. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root cause of a person's illness lies in his personal constitution. As long as the constitution is well conditioned, even if the bacteria and viruses come, they will not do anything to us.
vaccination is similar to traditional Chinese medicine's "prevention of disease". The benefits are naturally unquestionable, helping to prevent diseases in advance and reducing the probability of disease occurrence, but the root cause is still the personal physical condition.
In fact, due to bad living habits such as staying up late at night, eating meat and drinking, people are at a high risk of suffering from various major diseases in their lives. We don’t need to talk about cervical cancer. Instead of worrying about whether to get vaccinated every day, what vaccines to get, strengthen self-cultivation, and exercising the body is the top priority!
