According to The American Cancer Society, cervical cancer (cervical cancer) or more popular with cervical cancer or cervical cancer, can actually be prevented.
With understanding and good discipline, cervical cancer is greatly feared by these women could have been avoided.
Things that must be considered to prevent this deadly disease is:
AVOID HPV VIRUS INFECTED
You can avoiding cervical cancer is by avoiding open ourselves against HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Some types of sexual behavior will increase the risk of HPV infection, such as:
* Sexual relationship at the age too young
* Having multiple sex partners
* Having a couple who have sex with many people
* Having sex with a man who has not been circumcised (uncircumcised males)
DELAY SEX
Wait until enough adult sexual relationship can help yourself exposed to the HPV virus. It also helps you to limit our sexual partners, as well as prevent sex with someone who appears to have many sexual partners. Keep in mind that a person can be exposed to HPV diving for years without any symptoms at all, and people who are infected do not feel anything.
USE CONDOMS
Condoms are proven to be powerful enough protective in preventing HPV. One study found that when condoms are used correctly, can reduce HPV infection rate by 70% – if it is used every time intercourse. Condoms can not completely protect because condoms cannot keep all areas where HPV allows transmit to other body parts, such as some skin as well as a vital tool anus (anal).
DO NOT SMOKING
Options for not smoking can reduce the risk of cancer and the development of cancer in our body.
DO VACCINATION
Several vaccines have been developed that can protect women from HPV infection. So far the vaccine could secure ourselves from HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18 (Gardasil ®), and other vaccines are expected to protect our bodies from HPV types 16 and 18 (Cervarix ®) are in the research phase.
Currently Gardasil ® have passed the FDA test. The vaccination will require three shots over six months. Injections into-2 will be given 2 months after the first injection, and injection into the 3rd will be given four months after the second injection. Side effects reported very small. The most widely reported is usually a skin reddish in a short period of time, itching and soreness around the injection site.
ACIP (The Federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices), as an advisory committee of national immunization United States recommends the vaccine in women aged 11 to 12 years. For women who have never had a kind of vaccine, ACIP recommends women in the age range 13-26 years to immediate do HPV vaccination is the prevention of infection.
It’s important to realize that the vaccine does not completely protect women from cervical cancer and all cancers are caused by different types of HPV virus, so routine PAP test is recommended. One benefit of vaccination is protection against 2 types of the virus that causes 90% of genital warts.
