The Lates in Womens' Gynecological Health News

In keeping up with the latest womens' gynecological health news, I have stumbled across some amazing finds. Upon a routine well woman exam in my family doctor's office, she informed me of the latest vaccine that was created especially for women. It is available for women between the ages of 9 and 26 years old.

This new developed product is called Gardasil. Gardasil is the only vaccine out there, currently, that is made to protect women against diseases caused by human papillomavirus types 16, 18, 6, and 11. These different strains of HPV are what ends up causing 70%-90% of cervical cancer cases among women. It's important to note that this vaccine will not protect against disease caused by other HPV types
