Current research indicates that the protection conferred by the HPV vaccine is long-lasting. If you already got full HPV vaccination, you do not need to take it again.

HPV vaccination can be obtained at hospitals or clinics that provide services. We have HPV vaccination service at Welala Clinic. If you wish, you can add Line Welala (LINE ID: @welala) call 083-860-8875 to schedule an appointment for vaccination.

It is very important for women aged 25-65 years to receive cervical cancer screening, even if they were previously vaccinated against HPV.

It is important for women to be screened regularly, every 2 years for Pap test, and every 5 years for HPV DNA test.

Certain strains of HPV can cause cervical cancer. HPV screening test gives us insight to cancer risk so we can consult a doctor and get treatment before it’s too late.

An abnormal screening test result does not necessarily mean that a woman has cancer. Most often it means that she has pre-cancer, or early changes that could become cancer in many years if not treated. Very rarely a woman is found to have signs of cervical cancer at the time of screening.

Women who have sexual intercourse should do the screening test at 25 years old and women who never have sexual intercourse should do the screening test at 30 years old.
