Protect Yourself Against Cervical Cancer

The human papillomavirus or HPV is quite a common type of infection especially for women who are sexually active as an adult. Chances are one may have contracted several of the 100 strains of the said virus without knowing it. About 30 strains of HPV are being transmitted sexually. HPV is considered as the number one cause of cervical cancer as well as genital warts.

HPV Protection

There is a promising new vaccine available that now aims to prevent HPV infections from spreading. It would also make the incidence of such infections that might cause cervical cancer and genital warts more scarce in the future. There are also other ways that may help protect women from HPV infection.

Pap Smears

Although most HPV infections may be quite harmless for a majority of people, it still pays to know if you have it. There are a few strains that may lead to cervical cancer or harmless but annoying genital warts. Pap smears may help doctors determine and screen women for cancerous changes. It would be very helpful if more women have pap smears done yearly.

Vaccination

Gardasil is a vaccine introduced in 2006 that proves to be effective in protecting against two strains of HPV likely to cause cervical cancer and on two other strains known to be the main cause of genital warts. It is recommended that girls aged 11 or 12 years old be given the vaccine, the age before women become sexually active. Women who are older may also be vaccinated provided that they have never as yet been infected by the cancer causing HPV virus strains the vaccine aims to protect the women from.

Condom Use

Using condoms and latex barrier may also help prevent the transmission of HPV up to a certain level. Such barriers may only be able to protect the areas that they cover and may not be totally effective. Sexual abstinence and vaccination still remains to be the best way to protect against HPV infections.

  1. How is it that just anybody can write a website and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said anything incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a pretty picture over an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you really think that you can get away with adding some pretty pictures and not really say anything?

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and ’skin’ the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

    Wow!, this was a real quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done

  10. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a more powerful blog if you let people SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.

    You lost me, friend. I mean, I imagine I get what youre declaring. I have an understanding of what you’re saying, but you just seem to have overlooked that there are some other individuals inside the world who see this matter for what it actually is and may possibly not agree with you. You may be turning away alot of men and women who might have been fans of your blog site.

    What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.
