HPV Vaccine (Human Papillomavirus Vaccination)
The strongest protection against cervical cancer, genital warts, and high-risk HPV infections
The HPV vaccine is one of the most powerful tools in modern preventive medicine.
It protects against the HPV types responsible for over 99% of cervical cancer cases and the majority of genital warts (lythat).
At Saga Clinic, Dr. Eser Agar provides HPV vaccination as part of comprehensive cervical cancer prevention and sexual health protection.
Why the HPV Vaccine Is So Important
- Prevents cervical cancer
- Protects against high-risk HPV types (including 16 and 18)
- Prevents genital warts caused by types 6 and 11
- Reduces transmission between partners
- Prevents pre-cancerous lesions (CIN 1, 2, 3)
- Provides long-term immunity
- Protects both women and men
The earlier the vaccine is given, the stronger the protection.
Who Should Get the HPV Vaccine?
The vaccine is recommended for:
1. Girls and women: 9–∞ years
Highest benefit between 9–26 years, but protection remains significant no upper limit.
2. Boys and men: 9–∞ years
Vaccination also protects men from:
- HPV transmission
- Genital warts
- Penile, anal, and throat cancers
3. Sexually active adults
Even if sexually active or previously exposed, the vaccine still provides meaningful protection.
4. Patients with a history of HPV or genital warts
The vaccine does not treat existing infections,
but it reduces recurrence and protects against new HPV types.

When Should HPV Testing Be Done Before Vaccination?
HPV testing is not required before receiving the vaccine.
However, at Saga Clinic, depending on the patient’s age and history, we may recommend:
- HPV DNA test
- Gynecological examination
- Pap smear
These tests do not affect vaccination, but they help evaluate current cervical health.
Can the Vaccine Treat Existing HPV or Warts?
No.
The vaccine is preventive, not therapeutic.
But it does help with:
- Reducing future recurrences
- Preventing infection with new HPV types
- Supporting long-term immunity
For existing HPV infections or genital warts, Saga Clinic offers:
- Laser treatment (first-line)
