Why are people who have no sex life also infected with HPV? These modes of transmission should be understood by both men and women

people always think

Cervical cancer is far away

So all warnings are ignored

Learn about the spread of HPV

just stop at sex

As everyone knows

disaster at last

Let's talk today

The past and present of HPV and cervical cancer

HPV is a general term for a class of viruses

The full name is human papillomavirus

It can proliferate the squamous epithelium of human skin and mucous membranes

Causes various genital or skin diseases

Currently

More than 200 HPV types have been identified in the medical community

54 of them can infect the mucous membrane of the genital tract

More than 20 kinds of tumor-related

Depending on the site of infection or the characteristics of the disease

HPV is divided into low-risk and high-risk types

The main differences between the two are as follows:

in a woman's life

There is a probability of up to 80%~90%

Have been infected with at least one HPV virus

HPV can only be spread through sex? you are wrong!

Many people fall into a misunderstanding

Think HPV is only spread through sex

Just keep clean sex

impossible to get infected

Actually

Indirect contact with contaminated items

such as bedding, tableware,

Clothing and other daily necessities

Or after being contaminated by the excrement or excrement of the infectious source

Touch the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, eyes, etc.

It can also lead to pathogenic bacteria entering the body

causing infection

Can you get cervical cancer with HPV?

Cervical cancer is a relatively common gynecological malignancy

Its early symptoms are not obvious

Late symptoms such as vaginal bleeding

in all female malignancies

The second highest incidence

Once the middle and late

The probability of its cure will be very low!

actually

Most low-risk HPV viruses

Can be cleared by the own immune system

only when the infected

High-risk HPV infection persists for more than two years

to develop cervical cancer

in

HPV16 , 18 are most likely to cause cervical cancer

Early detection if timely intervention

The cure rate is also higher

Which cervical cancer vaccine is the most effective?

Currently

The most direct and effective measures to prevent cervical cancer are

• HPV vaccine

Its protection rate is as high as 70%-80%

But many people only look for the nine-valent vaccine

delaying the best time for vaccination

Relevant experts said

Optimal age and population for HPV vaccination

Girls aged 9-15 who have never had sex

The earlier the vaccination, the better the preventive effect

certainly

older or sexually active women

HPV vaccine is also available

Although the effect will be discounted

But the protection is still ideal

It should also be reminded that

Vaccines prevent cervical cancer

but not 100%

therefore

Regular cervical cancer screening

Also very necessary!

Vaccines are not a panacea, regular screening is more important

cervical cancer screening

Thin-layer liquid-based cytology through the cervix

Mainly including TCT and vaginal high-risk HPV testing

Anyone who has had sex for more than three years

or women over 21 who are sexually active

should be screened

double-insure yourself

To prevent cervical cancer, you can also do

Beyond vaccines and screening

Daily protection is also important

1. Try to keep a single partner

Related research shows

Cervical cancer risk in women with multiple partners

much larger than other women

2. Pay attention to cleaning

To prevent HPV infection

Private hygiene should be maintained

Wash before and after sex

Usually breathable loose cotton underwear

Pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep clean

Don't let the virus take advantage

3. Supplement with trace elements

also

Lack of some trace elements in the body

such as zinc, selenium, and vitamin C

may also cause disease

Eat more fish, lean meat,

Edible mushrooms, peanuts, oranges and other foods
