Doctor Friend: You never get cervical cancer if you are vaccinated? That's a no-no! Doctor Soojin has exploded misunderstandings about HPV. HPV doesn't have a cure! Ob-Gyn's practical advice: People think they shouldn't have sex if they have HPV.

That's a no-no!! I'm already depressed to have the virus! (Doc...?) Very practical(?) advice. HPV Vaccination EP.1 Misunderstandings about HPV. Doctor Friend Soojin Baek, Ob-Gyn doctor friend. Nan-Young Kim, Announcer, A new mom.

I have friends that don't have a child. She recently said, "I've never had an Ob-Gyn checkup." Why??? (Think about your age!) "I got the HPV vaccination so I don't need to do it." Q. You don't need a checkup if you already had an HPV vaccination?

I get shocked often while seeing patients too. When did you get a checkup for cervical cancer? I got vaccinated already! No, but when was the last time you checked for the cancer? I am vaccinated, why would I get a checkup?! You should definitely get checked up even if you had the vaccination.

Cervical Cancer Vaccine = HPV Vaccine (Human Papilloma Virus). HPV is one of the main causes of cervical cancer. It's commonly infected through sexual intercourse. In fact, cervical cancer is not caused only by HPV that you get through intercourse.

Cigarettes, or STDs, nutrition, various factors can cause this cancer. HPV Vaccination's prevention rate is 70%. It does reduce the possibility significantly, but you have to get checkups for cancers! In the past, the government paid for the checkup if you are over 30.

Once in two years. Now, it's for 20 and over females, they can get the checkup for free. If the year of your birth is an odd number, you can get a free checkup every odd year. If you were born in an even year, it's free every even year.

Then, now it's 2019, so 1993 and 1997? Korea is a country that provides much medical benefits, so take what is there for you and get checked up every 2 years. Do you know by any chance where the cervix is?

Lots of people don't know where it is. *Props*
Lots of people don't know. The entrance from the vagina to the uterus is called the cervix. So we have cervical cancer, but we also have lymphoma and ovarian cancer. So regular checkup at an OB-GYN is not only for cervical cancer.

OB-GYN Checkup = Overall examination including cervix
We have a cervical cancer checkup for a starter, but from here and up, we can't see it because it is the inside of your stomach. You have to do an ultrasound. Maybe you don't need a cervical cancer examination because you don't have sexual experience.

You need to checkup with a stomach or anus ultrasound to see if you have any lump in your uterus or ovary. Ah, regardless of the sexual intercourse, you have to get yearly checkups. Once you start having sexual intercourse, you need to do it yearly.

If you are a bit of an age and you had history. If you have a history of HPV infection. Q: If you have had HPV infection in the past, the vaccination is meaningless? Lots of people ask me that question. I told you, 'cervical cancer vaccination = HPV vaccination'.

Because HPV usually comes in through sexual intercourse, if you think about the vaccine's own effect, it's best to get it before your first sexual encounter. That way, the vaccination would provide prevention. Ideal age to get vaccinated:
Before you have your first sexual intercourse.
Age of 9~13.

Then, people who already had sexual intercourse and/or have been exposed to the virus already. What if you are already exposed to HPV?
Lots of people are asking this question. It is still right to get it. What's funny about this virus is, it's not like you are exposed to all the viruses.

*About 100 different HPV viruses are confirmed so far.*
So, if you already have been infected by HPV, it will still prevent other types of HPV. For prevention against other types of HPV, and even if you are infected, it does not last forever. Usually, HPV cures naturally with no particular symptom.

BUT! Unlike other viruses, you don't acquire immunity for this. Cell modification by repetitive HPV infections causes cancers. So, for people who are infected currently, this vaccination doesn't cure it, obviously, it can't stop it either. However, once this infected virus is gone naturally,

the immunity created by this vaccination will block the viruses that are newly entering. So, if you have had sexual intercourse, if you have been infected, I still recommend you to take the vaccination. Indeed, WHO also recommends the vaccination with no pre-test of HPV. Regardless of exposure to HPV, they recommend it.

Unfortunately, a vaccine is not a cure. It prevents the viruses from infection. In fact, HPV doesn't even have a cure. You cannot get rid of it. Then what do I do if I get infected? Serious patients are very sad about it, but as I told you before, viruses don't last forever.

They often die out. So, although there is no direct cure for it, if I may give some advice. Since it's a virus, it will die out if you are healthy. HPV Prevention
1. Immune System Health
2. Regular Checkup
3. Enough Sleep
4. Enough Exercise

(You kidding?) (Listen) So, if you have an okay cervical cancer test, if you are infected by the virus, irregular cells can form in no time, in a few months. So, you cannot procrastinate your checkup just because you did it once.

So, even if your cancer test is okay, if you do have the virus, 2. Regular Checkup - 6-12 Months interval. What patients misunderstand about this is they think they shouldn't have sex when they have this virus. That's not true?

No, it doesn't matter. *Indeed, about 50-80% of people who conduct normal sexual activity are infected by HPV at least one time in their lifetime.*
You already have the virus. *Indeed, about 50-80% of people who conduct normal sexual activity are infected by HPV at least one time in their lifetime.*
What you gonna do about it! You already have it!

Of course it can transmit. So, in fact, to prevent the virus infection and its transmission, Says Soojin - Have only one partner.
It is recommended to have only one partner that you have intercourse with. So, each of them just need to manage their immune system and get regular checkups.

Just because you have viruses, it doesn't mean you have to restrain yourself from sexual intercourse like the Virgin Mary. You are sad because you have viruses and you can't be more sad by not being able to have sex. Says Soojin 2 - Don't seek for who is responsible for it.
What's also important, don't try to find the person who's responsible for the infection.

You guys are exchanging (ideas)? (Means nothing) (Little chaotic) Doctor Friend Q. HPV, preventable by condoms? People naturally think HPV is a STD because they get infected through sexual intercourse. So they ask, "Can I just use condoms?" But in fact, 

the scrotum and pudenda can make contact even with the condom. You can get infected just by the contacts of genitals (it's possible to transmit). By oral intercourse or by kissing, it is still possible (By kissing?!)
This HPV is not only in the vagina mucous membrane, but also in the mouth. 

....(Frozen) ...Am I the only one who didn't know about this? (Innocent)
(Staff: Yeah) It's hard to prevent HPV with condoms... BUT! If you have sexual intercourse,
There are other viruses that come in through that. 

I recommend the use of condoms for prevention of other STD's or contraception. We have syphilis, AIDS, and if the female doesn't want to get pregnant. Of course, recommended as a contraception. It is hard to say condoms prevent 100% of cervical cancer or virus infections, or whatnot.

HPV와 자궁경부암 백신에 대한 오해

백신이 자궁경부암의 완전한 예방을 보장하지는 않습니다.

HPV는 치료가 불가능하며, 감염되었다고 해서 성관계를 삼가야 하는 것은 아닙니다.

HPV 백신 접종으로 정기적인 자궁경부암 검진의 필요성이 없어지는 것은 아닙니다.

백신 접종 후에도 정기 검진은 매우 중요합니다.

자궁경부암은 HPV에 의해서만 발생하는 것이 아니며 다른 요인도 영향을 미칩니다.

HPV 백신의 예방 효과는 약 70%이므로 정기적인 검진이 필요합니다.

대한민국 여성은 출생연도에 따라 무료 자궁경부암 검진을 받을 수 있습니다.

정기적인 산부인과 검진은 자궁경부암뿐만 아니라 전반적인 여성 건강을 위해 필수적입니다.

검진에는 자궁경부암 검진 및 초음파 등의 기타 검사가 포함됩니다.

특히 성행위를 시작한 후에는 매년 검진을 받는 것이 좋습니다.

HPV 백신 접종: 접종 시기 및 효과

백신 접종은 첫 성관계 전, 이상적으로는 9~13세 사이에 하는 것이 가장 효과적입니다.

성행위 또는 HPV 노출 후에도 백신 접종을 권장합니다.

백신 접종은 이미 일부 HPV 유형에 감염된 경우에도 다양한 HPV 유형으로부터 보호합니다.

HPV는 자연적으로 치유되는 경우가 많지만, 백신 접종은 향후 감염을 예방하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

백신은 기존 감염을 치료하는 것이 아니라 기존 감염이 완치된 후 새로운 감염을 예방합니다.

HPV를 치료할 수 있는 방법은 없지만, 건강한 생활 습관은 신체가 자연적으로 바이러스를 제거하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

예방 전략에는 면역 체계 지원, 정기 검진, 충분한 수면, 운동 등이 포함됩니다.

이전에 음성 판정을 받은 적이 있더라도 비정상 세포가 빠르게 성장할 수 있으므로 정기 검진은 필수입니다.

HPV에 감염되었다고 해서 반드시 성관계를 삼가야 하는 것은 아닙니다.

성적으로 활동적인 사람의 높은 비율은 어느 시점에 HPV에 감염됩니다.

HPV와 성 건강에 대한 추가 조언

HPV 감염을 줄이려면 성 파트너를 한 명만 갖는 것이 좋습니다.

HPV 감염의 원인을 찾는 데 집착하지 마세요.

콘돔은 피부 간 접촉으로 인한 HPV 감염을 완전히 예방하지 못합니다.

HPV는 구강 성교와 키스를 포함한 다양한 경로를 통해 전염될 수 있습니다.

콘돔은 다른 성병 예방과 피임에 권장되지만, HPV에 대한 완전한 해결책은 아닙니다.
