More than 95% of cervical cancer cases are caused by human papillomavirus infection. Fortunately, we have a mature preventive measure: HPV vaccine.
Recently, the domestic HPV vaccine also announced that it will be put into use soon. From May, it will be vaccinated in most community hospitals in Hubei, Xinjiang, Jilin, Yunnan, Jiangsu, Shandong and other provinces. Women in China have another choice in the fight against cervical cancer.
What is the difference between domestic HPV vaccine and imported vaccine?
The 93,643 domestic HPV vaccines approved for marketing this time are bivalent vaccines, which can prevent HPV 16 and 18. According to the vaccine instructions, the vaccination population of this batch of vaccines is women aged 9 -45. In the past, it usually took three shots to inoculate imported HPV vaccine, but this batch of domestic vaccines can achieve the expected effect in the population aged 9- 14.
In addition, there are obvious differences in price. It costs about 4,000 yuan to import a 9-valent HPV vaccine, and about 2,000 yuan to fully vaccinate 3 shots, even if it is an imported bivalent vaccine. Domestic vaccines cost 329 yuan each, almost half the price of imported vaccines.
Of course, the domestic HPV vaccine currently on the market is only bivalent. If you want "more comprehensive" protection, you can continue to choose to import nine-valent HPV vaccine.
What's the difference between bivalent and bivalent?
At present, there are about 130 known subtypes of human papillomavirus, among which HPV 16 and HPV 18 are the main pathogenic types of cervical cancer, and bivalent HPV vaccine is aimed at these two high-risk subtypes for prevention, and the prevention effect can reach more than 80%, which can reduce the risk of cervical cancer by nearly 90% for China people.
The higher the price, the more kinds of human papillomavirus can be prevented, and the better the preventive effect on cervical cancer. Choose a few prices, or look at personal needs.
Unfortunately infected with human papillomavirus, is it bound to get cervical cancer?
Don't!
First of all, not every type of human papillomavirus in 130 can cause cervical cancer. It can be roughly divided into low-risk skin type, high-risk skin type, low-risk mucosa type and high-risk mucosa type (such as HPV 16, 18), which can cause squamous epithelial hyperplasia of human skin and mucosa, usually manifested as common warts and genital warts (condyloma acuminatum).
In other words, the development of cervical cancer after human papillomavirus infection first depends on whether the infected human papillomavirus typing is a high-risk type of cervical cancer. In addition, it depends on the length of infection. Generally speaking, long-term persistent infection with human papillomavirus will lead to cervical cancer.
Of course, the fight against cancer can never be taken lightly. Whether or not you are vaccinated with HPV vaccine, you need to pay attention to the hygiene of reproductive organs and maintain good sexual habits every day. If necessary, cervical precancerous lesions such as cervical smear (TCT), colposcopy and human papillomavirus should be screened.
