Health for All says
With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, people's awareness of health has gradually improved, and vaccination has become one of the important means of disease prevention. Among them, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has attracted much attention. In order to help you better understand the precautions of HPV vaccine and prevent HPV-related diseases, we will explain the relevant knowledge for you today.
1. Understand HPV and related diseases.
1.Introduction to HPV.
HPV is a class of DNA viruses that can cause wart-like growths, masses and malignant tumors of the mucous membranes. It is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, but it can also be transmitted through other routes, such as mother-to-child transmission. A variety of HPV subtypes are known, some of which are associated with tumors in cervical cancer, **carcinoma, **carcinoma, **carcinoma, laryngeal cancer, etc.
2.Hazards associated with diseases.
HPV-related diseases are a serious threat to the health of patients. Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and its occurrence is closely related to high-risk HPV infection. In addition to cervical cancer, HPV infection can also lead to malignant tumors in other sites, which brings great psychological and economic burden to patients and families.
2. Precautions for HPV vaccination.
1.Selection of inoculation targets.
The HPV vaccine is suitable for women and men between the ages of 9 and 26. Early vaccination increases the efficacy of the vaccine. For people who have already been infected with HPV, the effectiveness of the vaccine will be greatly reduced.
2.Pregnant women should not be vaccinated.
Pregnant women should not be vaccinated because the safety of these vaccines has not been fully evaluated in pregnant women. If vaccinations are needed during pregnancy, please consult your doctor and decide on a case-by-case basis.
3.Routine check-ups before vaccination.
Before vaccination, a series of examinations, such as ** examination, cervical fluid-based thin-layer cytology, etc., should be performed to determine the suitability of vaccination and to rule out the risk of other diseases.
4.The importance of complete vaccination.
The HPV vaccine generally requires 3 doses and should be completed at specified intervals. Adequate protection cannot be considered until the full course of vaccination has been completed. Therefore, it is very important to complete all the vaccinations as recommended by your doctor.
5.Precautions after vaccination.
After vaccination, there may be some common discomfort reactions, such as redness and swelling at the injection site, fever, headache, etc., but these reactions are mostly mild and temporary, and will not have serious effects on the body. If you experience severe discomfort or symptoms that last for a long time, you should seek medical attention promptly.
3. Interpretation of HPV and its prevention from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the balance between human health and the environment, and the harmony of yin and yang, are closely related. To prevent HPV-related diseases, we should start from the following aspects, and pay attention to overall conditioning and maintenance:
1.Get plenty of rest.
Proper rest can make the body fully recover and improve immunity. Try to avoid staying up late, overworking and other bad lifestyle Xi habits, and ensure adequate sleep time.
2.Develop good eating Xi.
A balanced diet is essential for maintaining the health of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the homology of medicine and food, and recommends a high intake of fresh vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in nutrients.
3.Enhance physical fitness.
Through moderate exercise, you can enhance your physique and immunity, promote the smooth flow of qi and blood, and prevent the invasion of diseases. Appropriate physical exercise includes walking, tai chi, yoga, etc., but should not be too strenuous .
4.Deal with stress positively.
Emotional stability and a good state of mind are essential for good health. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates psychological regulation and moderate relaxation methods, such as appreciation, reading, traveling, etc., to relieve stress and improve mood.
In summary, HPV vaccination is an important way to prevent related diseases, but it also needs to be decided according to the individual's specific situation and the doctor's recommendation. At the same time, the health concept of Chinese medicine is closely related to disease prevention, and we can maintain our physical health by maintaining healthy lifestyle Xi and health preservation methods.
