Protecting Women’s Health at Nandhini Pearl Hospital, Velachery
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it continues to affect thousands of
women in India every year. The good news? A simple vaccination can protect girls and women
long before cancer ever develops.
At Nandhini Pearl Hospital, Velachery, we strongly believe that prevention is the most powerful
form of care. That is why we offer safe, WHO-approved cervical cancer (HPV) vaccination as part
of our comprehensive women’s health services in Chennai.
This blog will answer every real question women and parents ask in simple, honest language
about cervical cancer vaccination, who should take it, when to take it, and why getting vaccinated in
Velachery can be life-saving.
What Is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. In
most cases, it is caused by a long-term infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV)—a very
common virus transmitted through skin-to-skin contact.
Important fact:
Almost 99% of cervical cancer cases are linked to HPV infection.
HPV infection often shows no symptoms, which means many women don’t know they have it until
serious changes occur.
Why Cervical Cancer Is a Major Concern for Indian Women
1.Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among Indian women
2.Many women are diagnosed late, when treatment becomes difficult
3.Lack of awareness and fear prevent early prevention
This is exactly why HPV vaccination + regular screening is so important.
What Is the Cervical Cancer (HPV) Vaccine?
The HPV vaccine protects against the high-risk HPV types that cause:
1.Cervical cancer
2.Vaginal and vulvar cancers
3.Genital warts
The vaccine works by training your immune system to fight HPV before infection happens.
It does NOT:
1.Affect fertility
2.Cause cancer
3.Interfere with periods
4.Encourage early sexual activity
These are myths and science has clearly proven them wrong.
Who Should Take the Cervical Cancer Vaccine?
✅Ideal Age Group
Girls aged 9–14 years (best immune response)
Women up to 45 years can also safely take the vaccine
✅Can married women take it?
Yes. Even if you are married or sexually active, the vaccine still offers protection.
✅Can mothers take it along with daughters?
Absolutely. Many mothers choose to get vaccinated together with their daughters—a powerful step
toward family health.
At Nandhini Pearl Hospital in Velachery, our gynecologists personally assess and guide each
patient before vaccination.
