HPV Test: Should I?

892 Views POSTED ON October 28th, 2008

HPV is a virus that can cause cell changes in the cervix, which more seriously can lead to cervical cancer. The HPV test checks for HPV. The test can be done at the same time as the Pap test, with the same swab or a second swab. You will not notice a difference in your exam if you have both tests. Infection with the most common types of “genital” HPV can be prevented with the HPV vaccine. However, vaccination is only fully effective if administered before a girl or young woman has been exposed to those types of HPV through sexual contact. In addition, the vaccine does not protect against all types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer. Thus, it is important to get a regular Pap and – if you’re over 30 – an HPV test, even if you’ve been vaccinated.

Staying in shape doesn’t just mean looking good or staying in good shape on the outside. Once you reach the age of forty, keeping up with regular doctor appointments becomes more important than it was in days past. Make sure to get a mammogram and screen for early detection of breast cancer. Make an appointment with your general practitioner for a complete physical. Consult with a dermatologist, and keep regular full-body skin checkups once or twice a year, which can help screen out skin cancer and suspicious moles that may crop up. If you used to see the eye doctor once every couple of years, cut that in half and see him once annually. Unfortunately, the eyes are quick to deteriorate as you age, and you will want to keep up with these check-ups for safety reasons, to be able to keep reading, and to check for signs of glaucoma and other age-related diseases.

When a couple decided to have a sex or make love, it means they both want to have some fun together. Well, I also thought sex is meant to be an enjoyable and happy experience especially with someone you love. But I guess it won’t be any fun if you get pain during intercourse. The enjoyable and happy experience suddenly becomes a dream for both of you. If you get pain during intercourse, it might be dyspareunia (say: “dis-par-oon-ya”).
