Having sex the day before getting the HPV vaccine

With the development of modern science, more and more people want to prevent infectious diseases to a certain extent through vaccination. For example, many people choose to get the HPV vaccine in order to prevent sexual organ diseases such as cervical cancer. However, this type of vaccine also has some taboos before getting the vaccine. Some people ask if they can have sex before getting the HPV vaccine?

The answer is: Yes, don't worry too much, but it is not recommended to do too much, because being too tired will reduce the body's resistance to some extent, making it easy to get sick and not conducive to vaccination. Generally speaking, the time has already been booked, so it will be delayed. Even if you are not sick, low immunity will increase the reaction after vaccination to a certain extent. Vaccination is done to prevent infection with the HPV virus. By injecting as early as possible it has a preventive purpose. But whether you are about to get the vaccine or have already gotten the vaccine, you can have a normal sexual life. In addition, if you have had sexual life, it is best to go to the hospital for cervical cancer screening and get the cervical cancer vaccine based on the doctor's diagnosis.

After vaccination, you may experience common symptoms such as dizziness, fever, stomach discomfort, muscle pain, etc., which will gradually subside. The type of choice should be based on your age. In addition, vaccination is not recommended for those who are breastfeeding, menstruating, pregnant, have a fever or other physical discomfort, or have allergic constitutions or have immune system diseases.

What is the best age to get the HPV vaccine?

First of all, the HPV vaccine should be given as early as possible. Because this type of vaccine can only prevent but not cure. Therefore, only by getting this kind of vaccine before the risk of infection comes can we get the greatest protection. The World Health Organization believes that the HPV vaccine can protect people aged 9 to 26, so the most suitable age for vaccination is 11 to 12 years old.

Secondly, according to statistics, more than 20% of girls aged 14-19 have been infected with the virus. The infection rate of this type of virus infection peaks between the ages of 20 and 24. Because its main transmission route is sexual contact, girls who do not have sexual activity are the most suitable group for vaccination. Some people think that vaccination can be done at the age of nine, but the decision needs to be made after consultation between parents and doctors.

Finally, it does not mean that people over this age group cannot get the vaccine. As the HPV vaccine continues to be upgraded, its protection period has been extended, especially now that scientific research has developed a vaccine that can be used up to 45 years old.
