HPV Vaccine
Have your daughters been vaccinated? If not, give it. Because, it can definitely prevent cervical cancer. So parents, get your daughter vaccinated against HPV, advised medical experts. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women. This cancer occurs in the cervix and is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
These viruses cause not only uterine cancer but also genital cancer. There is still not enough awareness among the general public about HPV vaccination. The vaccine is effective if given to boys and girls before they become sexually active. Even adults in the age group of 35 to 45 years are eligible for this vaccine, experts informed. Lack of publicity and literacy campaigns leads to low awareness of HPV vaccination.
In general, the vaccine is less effective in the age group of 27 to 45 years. Yoga education plays an important role in preventing cancers caused by these viruses. Awareness should be created about the importance of regular checkups and vaccinations. Promotion of discussions about sexual health in families and communities is essential to promote timely diagnosis and prevention strategies among young women.
