Can I have sex after taking the HPV vaccine?

Is it necessary to get the HPV vaccine? This is a question that many women, especially those who are already married, will ask. Next, I will talk about some relevant information about the HPV vaccine.

First of all, women are unlikely to escape HPV infection after adulthood. Because the virus is transmitted through sexual intercourse, about 4/5 of people will be infected with at least one virus after they start having sex. There are more than 100 types of this virus, some of which can cause health problems.

Secondly, cervical cancer is different from other cancers. It is basically caused by HPV infection, and this infection can not only cause cervical cancer, but also vaginal cancer, anal cancer, and genital warts in men. Once you start having sex, you may be infected with some types of HPV soon.

Finally, there is an unequivocal answer here: the HPV vaccine is necessary. After the vaccine is injected, the human body will produce antibodies. When the body encounters the real virus again, this antigen can prevent these harmful viruses from invading our body and protect our health.

What should you pay attention to when getting the HPV vaccine?

Getting the HPV vaccine is of great benefit to women, but there are some things that require special attention during the vaccination period. Next, I will talk about some common issues related to these aspects.

1. On the day of vaccination, fever and cold should be avoided. If you have such a condition, you are not suitable for vaccination. Although this type of vaccine has been verified by the World Health Organization and is tolerated by the body, you still need to pay attention to fever and cold during the vaccination period. Generally speaking, although the vaccine is not likely to cause other side effects, it still depends on the individual physical condition.

2. Not all women can get this type of vaccine. Women cannot get the HPV vaccine after they are pregnant. Although no side effects of this type of vaccine on pregnant women have been found so far, such research is still ongoing. At present, it cannot be completely proven that it is harmless to pregnant women and fetuses, so pregnant women should not receive this type of vaccine.

3. The side effects of HPV vaccine are similar to those of general vaccines. For example, there will be redness, swelling and pain at the injection site. Sometimes some recipients will also experience dizziness and nausea. These are all mild and generally not too serious. If the symptoms persist for a long time and worsen, you should go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment. Because everyone's physical fitness is different, the reactions will also be different.
