About Human Papillomavirus

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) management by an Internal Medicine specialist involves a comprehensive, non-surgical approach focused on prevention, diagnosis, and monitoring of HPV-related health concerns. This includes administering the HPV vaccine series to eligible patients to prevent infection from high-risk strains that can lead to cancers of the cervix, anus, oropharynx, and other sites. The specialist also provides crucial counseling on risk factors, performs necessary screenings like Pap smears (often in coordination with a gynecologist), and manages the long-term health surveillance for patients with persistent HPV infections. Their role is pivotal in patient education, advocating for vaccination, and coordinating care to mitigate the risks of HPV-associated diseases through a holistic internal medicine perspective.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Routine immunization for adolescents and young adults as per national guidelines (typically ages 9-26, and sometimes older).
  • Catch-up vaccination for individuals who missed the recommended schedule.
  • Management and counseling for patients with a known history of HPV infection or abnormal cervical screening results.
  • Pre-vaccination consultation for patients with questions about efficacy, side effects, or eligibility.
  • Health maintenance visits where discussing cancer prevention strategies is appropriate.

How to prepare

  • Review of patient's medical history, including allergies (especially to vaccine components) and current medications.
  • Discussion of the vaccine schedule (2 or 3 doses depending on age at initiation) and what to expect.
  • No specific fasting or physical preparation is required for the vaccination itself.
  • For related screenings (like Pap smears), patients may be advised to avoid intercourse, douches, or vaginal medications for 24-48 hours prior.
  • Wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the upper arm (typical injection site) is recommended.

Risks & possible complications

  • Vaccine-related: Mild side effects like pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, fever, headache, or fatigue.
  • Allergic Reactions: Rare severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to vaccine components.
  • Syncope: Fainting can occur, especially in adolescents, after any injection.
  • No treatment for existing infection: The vaccine prevents new infections but does not treat existing HPV infections or related diseases.
  • Psychological Distress: Anxiety or stress related to diagnosis of HPV infection or abnormal screening results.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Immediate post-vaccination: Observation for 15-30 minutes to monitor for any immediate adverse reactions.
  • Manage mild side effects with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen if needed.
  • Use a cool compress on the injection site to reduce soreness and swelling.
  • No activity restrictions; patients can resume normal daily activities immediately.
  • Schedule follow-up doses as per the recommended timeline (0, 1-2, and 6 months schedule for the 3-dose series).
  • Continue with routine health screenings (e.g., Pap smears) as advised, as vaccination does not replace regular cervical cancer screening.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (outpatient procedure)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-2 days (for minor vaccine side effects)
