Cervical cancer is a terrible malignant tumor disease, and the population affected by this disease is very wide. Fortunately, with the emergence of cervical cancer vaccines, many women are eager to receive this vaccine injection from medical institutions. However, the recommended age group for this vaccine in medicine is 9 to 12 years old, so many older women may wonder if they can get the cervical cancer vaccine at the age of 46?
Generally speaking, the most suitable age for cervical cancer vaccine injection is around 11 to 12 years old. Women aged 13-26 who have had sexual intercourse can also receive the vaccine injection, but as long as they are over 26 years old, the effect of cervical cancer vaccine injection will be much weaker than that of younger women.
For women over 26 years old, the effect of cervical cancer vaccine injection is not significant, so it is still necessary to undergo regular cervical smear tests after injection to screen for cervical cancer in a timely manner.
The causes of cervical cancer are very complex, including common viral infections, multiple sexual partners, premature first sexual intercourse, excessive childbirth, and other high-risk factors such as poor dietary habits and poor hygiene conditions. As long as women pay attention to prevention in their daily lives, they can effectively reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
