Hello!
With the question "Can pregnancy after 1 month of HPV vaccination affect the fetus? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
What is the HPV vaccine?
HPV vaccine is a vaccine that helps prevent cervical cancer and genital papillomas, genital warts caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV); Infection of the skin and mucosal epithelial cells, is associated with cervical abnormalities (including precancerous lesions, cancer), warts, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. HPV is also associated with other cancers such as squamous cell cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, penis, and head and neck cancers.
HPV virus is mainly transmitted through sexual contact: skin-to-skin contact, oral mucosa, oropharynx or contact with the penis, uterus, vagina, anus of infected people. Kissing or touching your partner's genitals with your mouth can also spread the HPV virus.
In addition, this virus can also be transmitted non-sexually such as nail clippers, biopsy staplers, underwear... HPV can also be transmitted vertically from mother to baby during childbirth and causes multiple papillomatosis of the respiratory tract in infants.
Most genital HPV infections are completely harmless and go away on their own. But certain types of HPV can lead to genital warts or certain types of cancer.
Two types of HPV (types 6 and 11) cause most cases of genital warts. More than 10 strains of HPV can lead to cancer, of which two specific strains (types 16 and 18) lead to the majority of cancers. This is called high-risk HPV. Cervical cancer is most commonly associated with HPV.
Age and subjects to be vaccinated against cervical cancer
In Vietnam, the HPV vaccine as recommended by the vaccine manufacturer is indicated for women between the ages of 9 and 26, regardless of age. Have you ever had sex or not?
Experts recommend that women should get vaccinated against cervical cancer as soon as possible. The vaccine is effective for up to 30 years.
How long does it take to get pregnant with cervical cancer vaccination?
When planning to start a family, women need to take the initiative to get vaccinated against early cervical cancer.
