Things to note before getting the HPV vaccine

Among various cancers suffered by women, the incidence of cervical cancer is relatively high. Women often get cervical cancer, and most of them are caused by HPV infection. Therefore, many women now get the HPV vaccine, which can prevent cervical cancer. So, what are the common problems before getting the HPV vaccine?

Before getting the HPV vaccine, everyone should first understand their own health status. If you have an allergic constitution, especially if you are highly sensitive to vaccines, it is not recommended to get the HPV vaccine. In addition, if you are allergic to yeast, you are not suitable for the HPV vaccine. Some people will have allergic symptoms after the first shot of the vaccine, and if the allergic symptoms are very severe, there is no need to get the other two shots.

When preparing to get the HPV vaccine, if you have a cold, fever, or other symptoms, you should speed up the vaccination. Before getting the HPV vaccine, there is no need to conduct a basic HPV test and the vaccine can be given immediately. Women do not need to get the HPV vaccine when they are pregnant, but they can get the vaccine during their menstrual period.

After receiving the HPV vaccine, some side effects may occur, such as redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site, and some people may experience body aches, low fever, nausea, and other adverse symptoms. There is no need to worry too much, these symptoms are transient and usually disappear on their own after two days.

Things to note after getting the cervical cancer vaccine:

1. Women should not smoke or drink within one week after the injection. They should not eat spicy or irritating foods. They should follow the principle of eating small and frequent meals, and should not eat smoked foods. We hope that women will quit smoking and drinking, eat a light diet, and eat more foods with high protein content such as milk, fish, meat, poultry, and beans in their daily lives. They can eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, as these foods are helpful to the human body.

2. Women must take good contraceptive measures within 6 months after receiving the cervical cancer vaccine. If you become pregnant during these 6 months, you must inform your doctor in time. The main reason is that you must not receive the vaccine during pregnancy. The remaining vaccine should not be received until the breast-feeding period is over. This is also for safety reasons.

3. Within 3 days after the injection, the injection site cannot come into contact with water. In addition, everyone must pay attention to hygiene to prevent the injection area from being infected by bacteria.

4. Women should not lift heavy objects in the short term after receiving the vaccine, and should pay more attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep time, and be mentally stable, remember not to be up and down, and maintain a happy mood.

5. Some women may experience dizziness, nausea, bloating, and discomfort after the injection due to their physical condition. The injection site may also be very painful, swollen, and itchy. These conditions are all normal and there is no need to worry too much.

Women can realize that it is a good thing to get the cervical cancer vaccine for their own health. I hope that women will choose to go to a reliable vaccination site for the vaccination, so that the safety of the injection is more guaranteed. And after the injection, you can pay attention to the above details to achieve results as soon as possible.
