Hi, all!

For those who don't know yet, there is already a vaccine out for cervical cancer. This cancer is now ranked 3rd in the Philippines and I've heard it hurts really bad. The suffering is very painful daw...

There are 3 shots in all, spread over a 6-month period. Do ask your OB-GYNEs about it. If you don't have one and you're interested, let me know. I can refer you to mine. She's great and she explains the details...

it must be Gardasil...nice to know available na ni sa Pinas...

There is an issue whether or not it would be sending young daughters the wrong signals. Parents are afraid their daughters would think it is okay to have *** because they have 'protection.'

i think that's something people shoudl consider if they decide to make this vaccine manditory. there are 2 issues here that need to be addressed...

Firstly, there haven't been any long term studies of its effectiveness. some reckon the drug gives women protection for a minimum of 4 years or so... so if we give it to young girls like age 8 or 9 how are we supposed to know if they're protected by the time they are actually sexually active? And wouldn't it be wise instead to give it much later?

and second, there have been a lot of moral backlash over the drug... but if people or parents or the women themselves think they're "fully protected" then that's quite a dangerous misconception, right? the drug covers 4 or 5 strains of HPV which causes 70% of cervical cancer and we know there are at least a hundred strains of HPV not to mention several other viruses that causes various kinds of STDs....

Dorothea, yup its Gardasil. It's still quite new here but a lot are getting it.

LaBelleza, it's free there?! Wow. Not a lot is free here...

To everyone else, yup its around P6,000 PER SHOT. So P18,000 in all. But you only pay once you get the shots, so at least you have a 6-month period to save for it while getting your second and third shots

It doesn't address all causes, but it does address the majority. And better safe than sorry. It's a painful cancer to have.

Regarding the issue of sending wrong signals to girls, that's not the issue! They can still get the cancer even if they don't fool around. The focus is cancer prevention, not safe ***.

Lastly, my OB told me that for those who are married, while not as 100% certain, it can still be conclusive. However, since guys can be a carrier, you can actually have your husbands take the shots too! Something to think about. Twice the budget, but it definitely cuts down your risk.

Life is precious and health is priceless...

Also, yeah, it hurts. But just a sting. Then the arm goes numb for a little while. But after about an hour, it wears off and it's back to normal again Very bearable for the benefits it provides!

daghan kaayog nig type ang HPV. naay type nga maka cause ug skin warts but these type does not typically infect the genitals. but other types of HPV typically infects the "moist" part of the body like the genitals.

HPV types 6 and 11 maoy kasagaran maka cause ug genital warts but has low risk of progressing to cancer.

HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, and 39 maoy high risk of progressing to cancer. typically found on patients with severe dysplasia or cervical cancer.

technically, it's a vaccine that protects against the most common strains of HPV (Human papilloma virus), and HPV is the most common cause sa cervical cancer...
