Protect Yourself from HPV!
Cervical cancer ranks third among the most common cancers in Malaysian women, with approximately 2,000 women diagnosed annually. The primary cause of cervical cancer is persistent HPV infection, responsible for 95% of cases, mainly attributed to high-risk HPV subtypes (HPV-16 and HPV-18). The HPV vaccine can prevent over 90% of cancers caused by HPV, including cervical, anal, vaginal, and vulvar precancers.
Who should go for HPV vaccination?
Both males and females from age 9 to 45 are recommended to take the vaccine.
Gardasil 9 vaccine provides protection against 9 HPV strains (HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 53 and 58).
At Beacon Hospital, we offer the HPV vaccine for individuals aged 18 and above.
What is HPV?
Human Papillomavirus or HPV is a group of viruses commonly related to sexually transmitted infections. Most infections usually disappear on their own, however, some types of HPV can cause serious conditions like genital warts or cancer.
Both men and women who participate in unprotected sex are at risk of contracting HPV and HPV-related illnesses regardless of age. While HPV is usually a sexually transmitted infection, it is still possible to get infected if one’s mouth, throat, or areas surrounding the genitalia come into contact with the virus.
Cervical cancer is a preventable disease. Indeed, no one should die from cervical cancer. Unfortunately, most women are not aware of the importance of getting screened as well as getting the HPV vaccination. The HPV vaccine can prevent over 90% of cancers caused by HPV; these include cervical anal, vaginal, and vulvar precancers (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).
