HPV சர்வைகல் புற்றுநோய் தடுப்பு மருந்து தொடர்பான அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள் (FAQs) – இந்தியாவிற்கானது
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) என்பது வைரஸ்கள் கொண்ட ஒரு குழு. இதில் சில வைரஸ்கள் “அதிக ஆபத்தானவை” எனக் குறிப்பிடப்படுகின்றன, அவை சர்வைகல் புற்றுநோய், வெளிப்புற யோனி புற்றுநோய், இளைஞர்ப் புண்கள் (Genital warts), மற்றும் குத புற்றுநோய், ஆண் உறுப்புப் புற்றுநோய், வாய் மற்றும் தொண்டைப் புற்றுநோய்களை ஏற்படுத்தும்.
சர்வைகல் புற்றுநோய் என்பது கருப்பையின் கீழ்பகுதியான சர்விக்ஸ் (கருப்பையின் வாயில்) பகுதியில் உண்டாகும் புற்றுநோய் ஆகும். இது இந்திய பெண்களில் இரண்டாவது அதிகமாக காணப்படும் புற்றுநோய் ஆகும்.
அதிக ஆபத்தான HPV வகைகள் (முக்கியமாக 16 மற்றும் 18) உடன் நீண்ட காலம் அல்லது மீண்டும் மீண்டும் ஏற்படும் தொற்றுகள் சர்வைகல் புற்றுநோய்க்கு முக்கியமான காரணமாக உள்ளன.
ஆம். HPV தடுப்பு மருந்து, பொதுவாக புற்றுநோய்க்கு காரணமாகும் HPV வகைகளிடமிருந்து பாதுகாப்பு அளிக்கிறது. இந்தியாவில் Gardasil மற்றும் Cervavac ஆகிய தடுப்பு மருந்துகள் கிடைக்கின்றன.
இந்த தடுப்பு மருந்து ஆண் மற்றும் பெண் இருவருக்கும் பொருந்தும். ஆனால் இது முக்கியமாக பின்வரும் பெண்களுக்கு பரிந்துரைக்கப்படுகிறது:
9–14.11 வயது உள்ள சிறுமிகள் – 2 டோஸ்கள் (6 மாத இடைவெளியில்)
15–45 வயது பெண்கள் – 3 டோஸ்கள்
2வது டோஸ்: முதல் டோஸுக்குப் பின் 2 மாதங்களில்
3வது டோஸ்: இரண்டாம் டோஸுக்குப் பின் 4 மாதங்களில்
ஆம். இந்த தடுப்பு மருந்து பல ஆய்வுகளால் சோதிக்கப்பட்டு WHO உட்பட பல சுகாதார அமைப்புகள் மூலம் பாதுகாப்பானது என அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. சிறிது பக்கவிளைவுகள் (குத்தும் இடத்தில் வலி, சிவப்பு, வீக்கம், குறைந்த வெப்பநிலை) ஏற்படக்கூடும், ஆனால் அவை தானாகவே மாறிவிடும்.
ஆம். தடுப்பு மருந்து உடலுறவுக்கு முந்தைய கட்டத்தில் கொடுக்கப்பட்டால் அதிக பயனளிக்கும். இருந்தாலும், அனைத்து HPV வகைகளையும் ஒரு பெண் சந்திக்கவில்லை என்பதால், தடுப்பு மருந்து அவர்களுக்கு இன்னும் பயனளிக்கக்கூடும்.
ஆம். தடுப்பு மருந்து அனைத்து வகை HPV வைரஸ்களுக்கும் எதிராக பாதுகாப்பளிக்காது. எனவே, 30 வயதிற்குப் பிறகு 3 வருடங்களுக்கு ஒரு முறை மற்றும் மருத்துவரின் ஆலோசனைக்கு ஏற்ப Pap smear சோதனைகள் அவசியமாகும்.
ஆம். சிலர் இது முன்பே உடலுறவை ஊக்குவிக்கும் என்றும், வந்தியத்தை ஏற்படுத்தும் என்றும் நம்புகின்றனர். இது முற்றிலும் தவறானது. தடுப்பு மருந்து முன்னேற்பாடு செய்வதற்கானது மட்டும், இது பிறப்புத் திறன் அல்லது நடத்தை மீது எந்தவிதமான பாதிப்பும் ஏற்படுத்தாது.

ஆம். உங்கள் மாதவிடாய் காலத்தில் தடுப்பு மருந்து வாங்குவது முழுமையாக பாதுகாப்பானது.
இல்லை.
கர்ப்பம் இருந்தாலோ அல்லது அடுத்த 2 மாதங்களில் கர்ப்பத்தைத் திட்டமிடுகிறீர்களானாலும், HPV தடுப்பு மருந்து பரிந்துரைக்கப்படவில்லை.
தடுப்பு மருந்து பெற்ற பின் 6 மாதங்களுக்கு பிறகு கர்ப்பத்தை திட்டமிட வேண்டும்.
தடுப்பு மருந்து பெற்ற பின் தான் நீங்கள் கர்ப்பமாக இருப்பது தெரியவந்தால், அதிகம் கவலைப்பட தேவையில்லை. கர்ப்பத்தை முடிக்க வேண்டியதில்லை. மீதமுள்ள டோஸ்கள் கர்ப்பம் முடிந்த பிறகு கொடுக்கப்பட வேண்டும், மேலும் உங்கள் பிரசவ மருத்துவரின் ஆலோசனையில் பின்பற்ற வேண்டும்.
HPV సర్వికల్ క్యాన్సర్ టీకా పై తరచుగా అడిగే ప్రశ్నలు (FAQs) – భారతదేశానికి ప్రత్యేకంగా
HPV (హ్యూమన్ పాపిలోమా వైరస్) అనేది వైరస్ల సమూహం. వీటిలో కొన్ని, ముఖ్యంగా హై-రిస్క్ టైపులు, సర్వికల్ క్యాన్సర్, వల్వల్ క్యాన్సర్, జననేంద్రియ ముడతలు (Genital Warts), మరియు анал్, పీనైల్, నోటి మరియు గొంతు క్యాన్సర్లను కలిగించవచ్చు.
సర్వికల్ క్యాన్సర్ అనేది గర్భాశయాన్ని యోనితో కలుపుతున్న భాగం అయిన సర్విక్స్ (గర్భద్వారం) లో కలిగే క్యాన్సర్. ఇది భారతదేశంలో మహిళల్లో రెండవ అత్యధికంగా కనిపించే క్యాన్సర్.
టైప్ 16 మరియు 18 వంటి హై-రిస్క్ HPV వైరస్లతో దీర్ఘకాలిక మరియు పునరావృత ఇన్ఫెక్షన్లు సర్వికల్ క్యాన్సర్కి ముఖ్యమైన కారణం.
అవును. HPV వ్యాక్సిన్ అత్యంత సాధారణమైన క్యాన్సర్కి కారణమయ్యే వైరస్ల నుంచి రక్షణ ఇస్తుంది. భారతదేశంలో Gardasil మరియు Cervavac అనే వ్యాక్సిన్లు లభించుతున్నాయి.
ఈ వ్యాక్సిన్ ను ఆడవారు మరియు మగవారు రెండూ తీసుకోవచ్చు. అయితే, ఇది ముఖ్యంగా ఈ క్రింది వయస్సు గల అమ్మాయిలకు సిఫార్సు చేయబడింది:
9–14.11 సంవత్సరాలు: 2 డోసులు (మధ్యలో 6 నెలల గ్యాప్)
15–45 సంవత్సరాలు: 3 డోసులు (1వ డోసు తర్వాత 2 నెలలకు 2వ డోసు, మళ్ళీ 4 నెలల తర్వాత 3వ డోసు)
అవును. అయితే వ్యాక్సిన్ అత్యధికంగా ప్రభావవంతంగా ఉండే సమయం శృంగార సంబంధానికి ముందే. అయినప్పటికీ, వారు వ్యాక్సిన్ కవరేజీలో ఉన్న అన్ని టైపులకు ఒకేసారి వ్యాపించకపోవచ్చు కాబట్టి, టీకా వాళ్లకు ఇంకా ఉపయోగపడుతుంది.
అవును. 30 సంవత్సరాల తర్వాత ప్రతి 3 సంవత్సరాలకు ఒకసారి స్క్రీనింగ్ అవసరం. దీనిని గైనకాలజిస్ట్ లేదా కుటుంబ వైద్యుడి సలహా ప్రకారం చేయాలి.
అవును. కొందరు ఇది పెళ్లికి ముందు సంబంధాల్ని ప్రోత్సహిస్తుందంటారు లేదా వంధ్యతకు కారణమవుతుందంటారు. ఇవన్నీ పూర్తిగా తప్పుడు అపోహలు. వ్యాక్సిన్ పూర్తి స్థాయిలో రక్షణ చర్య మాత్రమే; ఫెర్టిలిటీ లేదా ప్రవర్తనపై ప్రభావం ఉండదు.
లేదు. గర్భధారణ సమయంలో లేదా త్వరలో గర్భం ధరించాలనుకుంటున్న మహిళలు HPV వ్యాక్సిన్ తీసుకోకూడదు. వ్యాక్సిన్ తీసుకున్న తర్వాత కనీసం 6 నెలల పాటు గర్భధారణను ఆలస్యం చేయాలి.
అయితే, టీకా వేసుకున్న తర్వాత మీరు గర్భిణిగా ఉన్నట్లు తెలిసినప్పుడు భయపడాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు. గర్భస్రావం గురించి ఆలోచించాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు. మిగిలిన డోసులను గర్భధారణ పూర్తయ్యాక వేయించుకోవాలి మరియు ప్రసూతి నిపుణుడి దగ్గర పర్యవేక్షణ అవసరం.
