Cervical Cancer and Vaccinations

Preventive vaccinations are crucial in protecting women from cervical cancer and other infections. Dr. Dipika Palit provides counselling and administration of vaccines like HPV, Hepatitis B, and others based on age and risk factors. Vaccination reduces the risk of cervical cancer, genital infections, and other diseases, supporting long-term reproductive health. Awareness, timely screening, and immunisation are key components of preventive care. The clinic ensures safe, effective, and evidence-based vaccination strategies for women of all ages.

What Is Cervical Cancer and Other Vaccinations?

These are immunisations provided to women to prevent infections that can lead to cervical cancer or other serious health issues, like HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines.

Procedure

Vaccines are administered after a medical consultation and assessment of medical history. The vaccination schedule is explained, and follow-up doses are ensured for complete protection. Patients are educated about side effects and preventive measures.

Why It Happens / Best Age / Treatment

HPV vaccination is recommended ideally before sexual activity (9–26 years) but can be given later for protection. Vaccination prevents cervical cancer and reduces infection risks. Other vaccines like Hepatitis B protect overall reproductive and general health. Timely immunization combined with regular Pap smears ensures effective prevention.
