One way to prevent cervical cancer is through vaccination HPV (human pappiloma virus). In some countries HPV vaccine is also given to men.

There are more than 100 types of HPV virus and there are 30 types of HPV that infect the genital area. If not detected early can develop into more serious even life threatening conditions.

HPV can infect anyone, either male or female. There are no specific signs or symptoms when the virus infects the body. So do not be surprised if many people do not realize they are infected or infect others actually have.

“Men also become part of the spread of cervical cancer, so men are also important to be vaccinated,” said Efren J Domingo, MD, PhD, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of the Philippines, in a discussion about cervical cancer treatment Indonesia and the Philippines, at the Hotel Lumire, Jakarta.

Some countries are already implementing the HPV vaccination for men. As the Philippines is proclaimed the HPV vaccine for men since October 2009.

Issues raised in the Philippines linked to cervical cancer is almost similar to Indonesia, which are mostly detected already in an advanced stage.

“HPV that can strike men usually causes genital warts or genital warts, but HPV can also cause penile cancer. But a small percentage of that is around 2-3 per cent of all cancers in men,” said Dr. Laila Nuranna , SpOG (K), head of the division of gynecologic oncology faculty of medicine.

There are two types of HPV that the vaccine could be sold or used by a society that is 16.18 HPV vaccine is a vaccine that can be used to fight cervical cancer. 16,18,6,11 Another HPV vaccine is the vaccine used to combat cervical cancer and genital warts.

“HPV vaccine can be given at age 10-55 years and ideally before a person is sexually active. In addition, the HPV vaccine was also given three times at intervals of 6 months and one year,” said Dr. Laila.

Every woman has a risk of cervical cancer, although she felt clean and not smoking. Therefore early detection is very important for people who are already sexually active.

The survey shows that men do not want to wear condoms because they feel pain and hurt when wearing them. It makes fails and the intended use of condoms increased risk of infectious disease. Therefore, men should wear a condom sizes that fit the size of his genitals.

Ill and not fit, that’s the reason some men who do not want to wear a condom. Improper use of condoms can indeed make condoms or condom tore apart thus reducing sexual partner.

Condoms that fit better to choose men to the risks of unwanted can be prevented. Men do not like to buy condoms in mind the small size and was feeling confident with the size of his genitals. But some men also do not realize that the condom they bought it too small.

“Male and female pair would be equally benefited, if the use of condoms fits. They can avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy, AIDS and other communicable infectious diseases,” said Dr. Richard Crosby of the University of Kentucky, as reported by Reuters.

Researchers conducted a survey of men aged 18 to 436th 67 years. Nearly half of participants (45 percent) said they had used a condom that does not fit for three months.

Male participants also reported five times more likely to feel pain and hurt when having sex while wearing condom size does not fit. In addition, they use condoms also often torn or separated so that they make it difficult to reach a climax.

The survey also mentions that the guy with condoms that do not fit twice as many off the condom before sex ceremony is completed. “Condoms are not fit to make men tend to take it off before having sex and condom use goal ultimately failed,” says Dr Crosby.

The study, published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections This emphasizes that the man wearing a condom right size because its impact could be fatal if condoms regardless or torn.

These findings may sound a bit ridiculous but according to these researchers should be serious attention. Awareness of men wearing condoms need to be accompanied by a high awareness of the threat of various diseases would also like gonnore, clamydia, syphilis, HIV and others.

When the wife was sick, husband at risk for stroke

Husband higher risk of having stress than wives when they have to take care of a sick spouse. This is because the husband was not prepared and not accustomed to caring for someone.

William E Halley, a professor of psychology at the University of South Florida, Tampa surveyed 767 people who are caring for a sick spouse or in a condition incapable of doing anything.

Couple of the most stressful highest risk of experiencing a stroke. Participants are asked how long the week they felt depressed, sad or crying state.

Other factors such as age, high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking or diabetes has been considered in this study.

The results show, the husband is faster the higher the stress and 23 percent for stress, compared with the wife. Stress has a 26.9 percent risk for a stroke during 10 years.

“Women are more ready and accustomed to caring for someone than men, so are subject to less stressful,” Haley said as reported by HealthDay.

Risk of stress experienced by the husband over time can develop into a stroke, typically two years after experiencing stress.

If it is so, the risk of other more serious diseases can also arise because the survey conducted by researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, stroke patients typically stop taking any medication before it actually healed.

This was supported by Swedish researchers who say, only three-quarters of stroke patients are still taking medicine to prevent a new stroke.

As many as 26 percent stopped taking medication for high blood, 44 percent stopped taking statins (cholesterol drugs) and 36 percent stopped from heart treatment.

“Many patients feel no longer need medication because they feel a bit better or cured. But the doctor also to blame because they do not coerce or provide patient education about the importance of taking medication regularly and continuously until completely healed,” said Dr. Bruce Ovbiagele, director UCLA stroke prevention program.
